The compound described by MgLu3 is Magnesium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form MgLu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Mg4 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Mg4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Mg(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Mg4 cuboctahedra. Lu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form LuLu8Mg4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Mg4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mg(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Mg4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mg(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Mg4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
