LaAu3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Au1- atoms. There are eight shorter (3.10 Å) and six longer (3.58 Å) La–Au bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Au1- sites. In the first Au1- site, Au1- is bonded to four equivalent La3+ and four equivalent Au1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing AuLa4Au4 tetrahedra. All Au–Au bond lengths are 3.10 Å. In the second Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La3+ and eight equivalent Au1- atoms.
