Materials Data on Lu(HO)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Lu(OH)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu3+ sites. In the first Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. There are two shorter (2.23 Å) and four longer (2.24 Å) Lu–O bond lengths. In the second Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form corner-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. All Lu–O bond lengths are 2.23 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Lu3+ and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Lu3+ and one H1+ atom.
