LuO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing LuO12 cuboctahedra. O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
LuO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing LuO12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.28 Å) and six longer (2.60 Å) Lu(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
