Materials Data on Th(GeRu)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Th(RuGe)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Ru and eight Ge atoms. There are a spread of Th–Ru bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.31 Å. There are a spread of Th–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.34 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th and four Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.47 Å) Ru–Ge bond lengths. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th and four Ge atoms. There are three shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) Ru–Ge bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th, four Ru, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.61 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th, four Ru, and one Ge atom.
