Bonding is ionic with lanthanum highly coordinated. The cation sits at the center of a ]. Nine fluorine atoms are close: three at the bottom corners of the trigonal prism, three in the faces of the trigonal prism, and three at top corners of the trigonal prism. There are also two fluorides a little further away above and below the prism. The cation can be considered 9-coordinate or 11-coordinate.<ref name=Cotton /> At 300 K, the structure allows the formation of ]s with an ] of 0.07 eV, and free flow of fluoride ions with an activation energy of 0.45 eV, making the crystal unusually ].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Frant |first1=Martin S. |last2=Ross |first2=James W. |title=Electrode for Sensing Fluoride Ion Activity in Solution |journal=Science |date=23 December 1966 |volume=154 |issue=3756 |pages=1553–1555 |doi=10.1126/science.154.3756.1553 |jstor=1720460 |pmid=5924922 |bibcode=1966Sci...154.1553F |s2cid=11042445 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1720460.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sher |first1=A. |last2=Solomon |first2=R. |last3=Lee |first3=K. |last4=Muller |first4=M.

This white salt{{anchor|la_fl_coating_anchor}} is sometimes used as the "high-index" component in multilayer optical elements such as ] ] and narrowband mirrors. Fluorides are among the most commonly used compounds for UV optical coatings due to their relative inertness and transparency in the far ultraviolet (FUV) {{nowrap|(100 nm < {{mvar|λ}} < 200 nm).}} Multilayer reflectors and antireflection coatings are typically composed of pairs of transparent materials, one with a low ], the other with a high index.
