KLuO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Lu(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing LuO6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and three equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OK3Lu3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
