Materials Data on Lu5Pb3 by Materials Project
Lu5Pb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pb atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.54 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pb atoms. All Lu–Pb bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Pb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Lu atoms.
