Materials Data on Lu2In by Materials Project
Lu2In crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Lu and six equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (3.30 Å) and six longer (3.47 Å) Lu–Lu bond lengths. All Lu–In bond lengths are 3.47 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded to six equivalent Lu and five equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing LuLu6In5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three shorter (3.05 Å) and two longer (3.30 Å) Lu–In bond lengths. In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Lu atoms.
