We report a comprehensive study of orbital character and tridimensional nature of the electronic structure of (Ca{sub 0.85}La{sub 0.15})FeAs{sub 2} from recently discovered “112” family of Iron-based superconductors (IBS), with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We observed that the band structure is similar to that of “122” family, namely, there are three hole-like bands at the Brillouin zone (BZ) center and two electron-like bands at the BZ corner. The bands near the Fermi level (E{sub F}) are mainly derived from the Fe t{sub 2g} orbitals. On the basis of our present and earlier studies, we classify IBS into the three types according to their crystal structures. We show that although the bands near E{sub F} mainly originate from Fe 3d electrons, they are significantly modified by the interaction between the superconducting slabs and the intermediate atoms.
