Materials Data on LuOF by Materials Project
LuOF is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu3+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and three equivalent F1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LuO4F3 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Lu–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.23 Å. There are a spread of Lu–F bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.38 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Lu3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLu4 tetrahedra. F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu3+ atoms.
