The material described by LuZn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(3), five equivalent Zn(1), and five equivalent Zn(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(3) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded to five equivalent Lu(1), two equivalent Zn(1), two equivalent Zn(2), and three equivalent Zn(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing ZnLu5Zn7 cuboctahedra. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu(1), three equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
