The material structure described by Li2(LuGe)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(2), one Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing LiLu4Ge4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Lu site, Lu(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and four 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 two equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Lu(1), and four equivalent Lu(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), one Lu(1), four equivalent Lu(2), and one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
