Materials Data on NdGeRu by Materials Project
NdRuGe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and five equivalent Ge atoms. All Nd–Ru bond lengths are 3.06 Å. There are four shorter (3.17 Å) and one longer (3.41 Å) Nd–Ge bond lengths. Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Ru–Ge bond lengths are 2.53 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nd and four equivalent Ru atoms.
