Materials Data on Lu2C by Materials Project
Lu2C is trigonal omega-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of three Lu2C sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Lu is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent C atoms. All Lu–C bond lengths are 2.41 Å. C is bonded to six equivalent Lu atoms to form edge-sharing CLu6 octahedra.
