LuAu4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Lu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing LuAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing AuLu3 cuboctahedra.
LuAu4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Lu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing LuAu12 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (2.96 Å) and four longer (2.98 Å) Lu(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing AuLu3 cuboctahedra.
