Materials Data on Dy2Ge2Ru by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy2RuGe2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and seven Ge atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Ru bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.19 Å. There are a spread of Dy–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.43 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru and six Ge atoms. Both Dy–Ru bond lengths are 3.30 Å. There are a spread of Dy–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.22 Å. Ru is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Dy and four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.62 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Dy, three equivalent Ru, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.78 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Dy, one Ru, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.65 Å.
