Lu5Pd2Bi crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LuBi2Pd4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-48°. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and six equivalent Lu(2) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and eight equivalent Lu(2) atoms.
