Materials Data on Rb2RuO4 by Materials Project
Rb2RuO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.52 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.51 Å. Ru6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–1.81 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Ru6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Rb1+ and one Ru6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Ru6+ atom.
