The crystal structure described by Ba2LuCu3O7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(4) atoms. Lu(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CuO5 square pyramids. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Cu(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OBa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-67°. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Lu(1), and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Lu(1), and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1), one Cu(1), and one Cu(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OBa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-67°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
