The crystal structure described by LuRe2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(1) and nine equivalent Re(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent Lu(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing ReLu6Re6 cuboctahedra. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded to six equivalent Lu(1), two equivalent Re(1), and four equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing ReLu6Re6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
