The compound described by TmLa3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Tm(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(2) and eight equivalent La(1) atoms to form TmLa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded to four equivalent Tm(1), four equivalent La(1), and four equivalent La(2) atoms to form LaLa8Tm4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded to four equivalent Tm(1) and eight equivalent La(1) atoms to form LaLa8Tm4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent La(2)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Tm(1)La12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent La(1)La8Tm4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
