Materials Data on LuTiGe by Materials Project
LuTiGe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ge atoms. There are four shorter (2.91 Å) and one longer (3.04 Å) Lu–Ge bond lengths. Ti is bonded to four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TiGe4 cuboctahedra. All Ti–Ge bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu and four equivalent Ti atoms.
