Materials Data on TbLu by Materials Project
LuTb crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded to six equivalent Lu and six equivalent Tb atoms to form LuTb6Lu6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent LuTb6Lu6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent LuTb6Lu6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent TbTb6Lu6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent LuTb6Lu6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent TbTb6Lu6 cuboctahedra. All Lu–Lu bond lengths are 3.56 Å. All Lu–Tb bond lengths are 3.50 Å.
