The material structure described by LuCuTe2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Lu(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cu(1) and six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuCu2Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and six equivalent Te(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
