Materials Data on Lu(HO)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Lu(OH)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Lu(OH)3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Lu3+ sites. In the first Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing LuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Lu–O bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.25 Å. In the second Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing LuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Lu–O bond distances ranging from 2.19–2.27 Å. There are six 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 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Lu3+ and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Lu3+ and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Lu3+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Lu3+ and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Lu3+ and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Lu3+ and one H1+ atom.
