The crystal structure described by LuO2 is Baddeleyite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLu4 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
