In the first Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with five FeO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO5 square pyramid, and faces with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.00 Å. In the second Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra, corners with five FeO5 square pyramids, and faces with four equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.05 Å. In the third Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent FeO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Cu–O bond lengths are 2.01 Å. In the fourth Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share corners with five FeO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There is four shorter (1.94 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) Cu–O bond length. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent La3+, one Fe3+, and one Cu3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+, one Fe3+, and one Cu3+ atom.
