LaLuS3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Lu(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form corner-sharing LuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-42°. La(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(2) and six equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and three equivalent La(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent La(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SLa2Lu2 trigonal pyramids.
LaLuS3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Lu(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form corner-sharing LuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-42°. Both Lu(1)-S(2) bond lengths are 2.64 Å. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.67 Å) Lu(1)-S(1) bond lengths. La(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(2) and six equivalent S(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.88 Å) and one longer (2.89 Å) La(1)-S(2) bond length. There are a spread of La(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 2.92-3.50 Å. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and three equivalent La(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent La(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SLa2Lu2 trigonal pyramids.
