Lu2Pt is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuPt4 tetrahedra. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(2) and four equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
Lu2Pt is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuPt4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Lu(1)-Pt(1) bond distances ranging from 2.80-2.87 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.76 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Lu(2)-Pt(1) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(2) and four equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
