LuCeAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1), three equivalent Ce(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing AlCe3Lu3Al6 cuboctahedra.
LuCeAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. All Lu(1)-Ce(1) bond lengths are 3.40 Å. All Lu(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. All Ce(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Al(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1), three equivalent Ce(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing AlCe3Lu3Al6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.77 Å) and three longer (2.79 Å) Al(1)-Al(1) bond lengths.
