Materials Data on Tb(P3Ru)4 by Materials Project
TbRu4P12 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent P1- atoms to form TbP12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent RuP6 octahedra. All Tb–P bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Ru+2.25+ is bonded to six equivalent P1- atoms to form RuP6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent RuP6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent TbP12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. All Ru–P bond lengths are 2.36 Å. P1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, two equivalent Ru+2.25+, and two equivalent P1- atoms. Both P–P bond lengths are 2.31 Å.
