Materials Data on RuF4 by Materials Project
RuF4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one RuF4 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Ru4+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing RuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There is two shorter (1.86 Å) and four longer (2.04 Å) Ru–F bond length. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru4+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru4+ atom.
