LuSn2 is Zirconium Disilicide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sn(2) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms.
LuSn2 is Zirconium Disilicide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sn(2) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.24 Å) and two longer (3.26 Å) Lu(1)-Sn(2) bond lengths. There are four shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.42 Å) Lu(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Both Sn(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 2.95 Å. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. All Sn(2)-Sn(2) bond lengths are 3.04 Å.
