Materials Data on Lu(Co2Ge)2 by Materials Project
Lu(Co2Ge)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded to six equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuGe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There are two shorter (2.83 Å) and four longer (2.92 Å) Lu–Ge bond lengths. Co is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge atoms. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.39 Å) Co–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Co atoms.
