LuRu3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ru(2) and eight equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing LuRu12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing RuLu4 cuboctahedra. In the second Ru site, Ru(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
