The structure described by LuP5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent P(1), two equivalent P(2), and four equivalent P(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(3) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom to form PLu2P2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(3)Lu2P2 tetrahedra, corners with five equivalent P(1)Lu2P2 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent P(2)LuP3 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one P(3)Lu2P2 tetrahedra. In the second P site, P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form distorted PLu2P2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(1)Lu2P2 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent P(2)LuP3 tetrahedra, and corners with ten equivalent P(3)Lu2P2 tetrahedra. In the third P site, P(2) is bonded to one Lu(1), one P(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom to form distorted PLuP3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent P(1)Lu2P2 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent P(3)Lu2P2 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one P(2)LuP3 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
