LuPtAl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing AlLu6Pt4 tetrahedra.
