description: Pr4(LuS2)11 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded to seven S atoms to form distorted LuS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with three LuS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LuS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent LuS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–50°. There are a spread of Lu–S bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.85 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded to six S atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–59°. There are a spread of Lu–S bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.73 Å. In the third Lu site, Lu is bonded to six S atoms to form LuS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LuS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LuS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with four LuS6 octahedra.
