Materials Data on VB2Ru by Materials Project
VRuB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V4+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven B3- atoms. There are a spread of V–B bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.42 Å. Ru2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven B3- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–B bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.34 Å. There are two inequivalent B3- sites. In the first B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V4+, three equivalent Ru2+, and two equivalent B3- atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.76 Å. In the second B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V4+, four equivalent Ru2+, and two equivalent B3- atoms.
