LuBO3 is Calcite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Lu(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and one B(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and one B(1) atom.
