LuScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 43-45°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OLu2Sc2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
LuScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.17 Å) and one longer (2.28 Å) Lu(1)-O(1) bond length. There are a spread of Lu(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.20-2.86 Å. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 43-45°. Both Sc(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.15 Å. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Sc(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OLu2Sc2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
