The crystal structure described by Lu3(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1), four equivalent Lu(2), one Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1), four equivalent Lu(2), and two equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1), six equivalent Lu(2), and four equivalent Rh(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
