Lu6MoSb2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mo(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mo(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuSb2Mo2 tetrahedra. Mo(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and six equivalent Lu(2) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(2) and six equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
Lu6MoSb2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mo(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. The Lu(1)-Mo(1) bond length is 3.12 Å. All Lu(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 3.25 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mo(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuSb2Mo2 tetrahedra. Both Lu(2)-Mo(1) bond lengths are 2.86 Å. Both Lu(2)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 3.09 Å. Mo(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and six equivalent Lu(2) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(2) and six equivalent Lu(1) atoms.
