Materials Data on YbLuAl4 by Materials Project
LuYbAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and twelve equivalent Al atoms. All Lu–Yb bond lengths are 3.40 Å. All Lu–Al bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Yb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu and twelve equivalent Al atoms. All Yb–Al bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Al is bonded to three equivalent Lu, three equivalent Yb, and six equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing AlYb3Lu3Al6 cuboctahedra. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.78 Å.
