LuCuPbSe3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu3+ sites. In the first Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form LuSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LuSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LuSe6 octahedra, and edges with four CuSe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. There are a spread of Lu–Se bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.85 Å. In the second Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form LuSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LuSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LuSe6 octahedra, and edges with four CuSe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. There are a spread of Lu–Se bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.84 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four Se2- atoms to form CuSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuSe4 tetrahedra and edges with four LuSe6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cu–Se bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.52 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four Se2- atoms to form CuSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuSe4 tetrahedra and edges with four LuSe6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.51 Å) Cu–Se bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.67 Å. In the second Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.70 Å. There are six inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu3+, one Cu1+, and three Pb2+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu3+, one Cu1+, and three Pb2+ atoms. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Lu3+, two equivalent Cu1+, and two equivalent Pb2+ atoms. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Lu3+, two equivalent Cu1+, and two equivalent Pb2+ atoms. In the fifth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu3+, one Cu1+, and three Pb2+ atoms. In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Lu3+, one Cu1+, and three Pb2+ atoms.
