Single crystals of the title compound, tetra-lutetium(III) tris-(cyclo-tetra-phosphate), Lu4(P4O12) 3, were obtained by solid-state reaction. The cubic structure is isotypic with its AlIII and ScIII analogues and is built up from four-membered (P4O12)4- phosphate ring anions ( ̄ 4 symmetry), isolated from each other and further linked through isolated LuO6 octa-hedra (.3. symmetry) via corner sharing. Each LuO6 octa-hedron is linked to six (P4O12)4- rings, while each (P4O12)4- ring is linked to eight LuO6 octa-hedra.
