Materials Data on Lu5Sn3 by Materials Project
Lu5Sn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sn atoms. All Lu–Sn bond lengths are 3.14 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.47 Å. Sn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Lu atoms.
