The compound described by Lu2Mo2C3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent C(2) and three equivalent C(1) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded to one C(2) and three equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MoC4 trigonal pyramids. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) and three equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form CLu3Mo3 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent C(2)Lu4Mo2 octahedra, edges with six equivalent C(1)Lu3Mo3 octahedra, and  a faceface with one C(2)Lu4Mo2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-56°. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form CLu4Mo2 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent C(1)Lu3Mo3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent C(2)Lu4Mo2 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent C(1)Lu3Mo3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-56°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
