Materials Data on OsRu3 by Materials Project

Abstract

OsRu3 is Magnesium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Os is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru atoms to form OsRu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent OsRu12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent OsRu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.67 Å) and six longer (2.74 Å) Os–Ru bond lengths. Ru is bonded to four equivalent Os and eight equivalent Ru atoms to form RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent OsRu12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent OsRu12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent OsRu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent RuOs4Ru8 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ru–Ru bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.75 Å.
