Materials Data on Sc(P2Ru3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sc(Ru3P2)2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc is bonded to six equivalent Ru and six equivalent P atoms to form face-sharing ScP6Ru6 cuboctahedra. All Sc–Ru bond lengths are 3.00 Å. All Sc–P bond lengths are 2.90 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc and four P atoms. There are two shorter (2.31 Å) and two longer (2.47 Å) Ru–P bond lengths. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five P atoms. There are one shorter (2.44 Å) and four longer (2.49 Å) Ru–P bond lengths. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc and six Ru atoms. In the second P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ru atoms.
