LuCoC crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuC4 tetrahedra. Co(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CLu4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-63°.
LuCoC crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuC4 tetrahedra. All Lu(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.43 Å. Co(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. Both Co(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 1.80 Å. C(1) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CLu4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-63°.
