The structure described by LuNiGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are three inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(3), one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third Lu site, Lu(3) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Lu(1), four equivalent Lu(2), two equivalent Ni(3), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Lu(1), two equivalent Lu(2), three equivalent Lu(3), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the third Ni site, Ni(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1), four equivalent Lu(2), and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1), four equivalent Lu(2), and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(3), four equivalent Lu(2), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Ni(2) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Lu(2), two equivalent Lu(1), three equivalent Lu(3), three equivalent Ni(2), and one Ge(3) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
