LuCoO3 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(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 36-37°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OLu2Co2 trigonal pyramids.
LuCoO3 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(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.17 Å) and one longer (2.20 Å) Lu(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of Lu(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.22-2.56 Å. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 36-37°. Both Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.93 Å. There are two shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (1.96 Å) Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OLu2Co2 trigonal pyramids.
