Materials Data on Sm(PRu)2 by Materials Project
Sm(RuP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P3- atoms. All Sm–P bond lengths are 3.14 Å. Ru2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing RuP4 tetrahedra. All Ru–P bond lengths are 2.36 Å. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm2+, four equivalent Ru2+, and one P3- atom. The P–P bond length is 2.51 Å.
