Materials Data on LuI3 by Materials Project
LuI3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two LuI3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Lu3+ is bonded to six equivalent I1- atoms to form distorted face-sharing LuI6 pentagonal pyramids. All Lu–I bond lengths are 3.01 Å. I1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Lu3+ atoms.
