Materials Data on Ge3Ru2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ru2Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.69 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded to six Ge atoms to form distorted edge-sharing RuGe6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.57 Å. In the third Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.90 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ru atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ru atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ru atoms.
