The compound described by Lu6AuTe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are six inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded to two equivalent Au(1), one Te(2), and two equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing LuTe3Au2 square pyramids. In the third Lu site, Lu(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Au(1), one Te(2), and three equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the fourth Lu site, Lu(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Au(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the fifth Lu site, Lu(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Te(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the sixth Lu site, Lu(6) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Au(1) and one Te(2) atom. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Lu(3), one Lu(6), two equivalent Lu(1), two equivalent Lu(2), and three equivalent Lu(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Lu(1), two equivalent Lu(2), two equivalent Lu(5), and three equivalent Lu(3) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to one Lu(2), one Lu(3), one Lu(6), two equivalent Lu(4), and two equivalent Lu(5) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TeLu7 pentagonal bipyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
