Pseudo-threefold symmetry of the AlO6 octahedra in GdAlO3. Foreshortened Gd—O1 [2.3069 (7) Å] and Gd—O2 [2.3391 (5) Å] bonds (all symmetry combinations) induce static tilting of the octahedra about a Gd—Al—Gdix [2 × 3.0793 (3) Å] axis. [Symmetry codes: (i) [{1 \over 2}]  − x, −y, [{1 \over 2}] + z; (ii) −1 + x, y, z; (iii) [\,\,{1 \over 2}] − x, [-{1 \over 2}] + y, [{1 \over 2}] + z; (iv) [{1 \over 2}] − x, −y, [-{1 \over 2}] + z; (v) [-{1 \over 2}] + x, [{1 \over 2}] − y, [3\over2] − z; (vi) [-{1 \over 2}] + x, y, [3\over2] − z; (vii) −x, −y, 2 − z; (viii) [-{1 \over 2}] + x, [{1 \over 2}] − y, [5\over2] − z; (ix) −x, [-{1 \over 2}] + y, 2 − z; (x) 1 − x, [-{1 \over 2}] + y, 2 − z.]
