description: SmLa7Ni6(AgO12)2 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SmO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent AgO6 octahedra, and faces with six NiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.83 Å. There are five inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent AgO6 octahedra, and faces with six NiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.83 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent AgO6 octahedra, and faces with six NiO6 octahedra.

In the second Ni+3.67+ site, Ni+3.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with six NiO6 octahedra, a faceface with one SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.03 Å. Ag1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AgO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AgO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent NiO6 octahedra, a faceface with one SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.05 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Ag1+ atoms.
