Materials Data on LuAlAu by Materials Project
LuAuAl crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Au atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and four longer (2.98 Å) Lu–Au bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Al atoms. All Au–Al bond lengths are 2.69 Å. In the second Au site, Au is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu and three equivalent Al atoms. All Au–Al bond lengths are 2.77 Å. Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Au atoms.
