LuGaO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GaO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) and one Ga(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLu3Ga tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ga(1) atoms.
LuGaO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. All Lu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.23 Å. Ga(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GaO5 trigonal bipyramids. Both Ga(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.92 Å. All Ga(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.00 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) and one Ga(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLu3Ga tetrahedra.
