LuGdAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Gd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1), three equivalent Gd(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing AlGd3Lu3Al6 cuboctahedra.
