Materials Data on Nd(PRu)2 by Materials Project
Nd(RuP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P3- atoms. All Nd–P bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Ru2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing RuP4 tetrahedra. All Ru–P bond lengths are 2.36 Å. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd2+, four equivalent Ru2+, and one P3- atom. The P–P bond length is 2.62 Å.
