BaLu2O4 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. Lu(1) is bonded to one O(2), two equivalent O(1), and three equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-40°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and four equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa2Lu4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Lu(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Lu(1) atoms.

Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. Both Ba(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 3.08 Å. Both Ba(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.62 Å. All Ba(1)-O(3) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Lu(1) is bonded to one O(2), two equivalent O(1), and three equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-40°. The Lu(1)-O(2) bond length is 2.17 Å. Both Lu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.40 Å. There are two shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) Lu(1)-O(3) bond length. There are three inequivalent O sites.
