RuCl3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one RuCl3 ribbon oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ru3+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form face-sharing RuCl6 octahedra. All Ru–Cl bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru3+ atoms.
RuCl3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two RuCl3 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Ru3+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form face-sharing RuCl6 octahedra. All Ru–Cl bond lengths are 2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru3+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru3+ atoms.
RuCl3 is Chromium trichloride structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3_112 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of three RuCl3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ru3+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RuCl6 octahedra. All Ru–Cl bond lengths are 2.38 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ru3+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ru3+ atoms.
