The material structure described by Gd3BiO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are three inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Bi(1), one O(3), and three equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Gd site, Gd(2) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Bi(1), one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. In the third Gd site, Gd(3) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Bi(1), one O(3), and three equivalent O(2) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Gd(2), two equivalent Gd(3), and four equivalent Gd(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Gd(2) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Gd(2) and three equivalent Gd(3) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd4 trigonal pyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one Gd(1), one Gd(3), and two equivalent Gd(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OGd4 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
