Materials Data on Y2Ge5Ru3 by Materials Project
Y2Ru3Ge5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to six Ru and ten Ge atoms. There are a spread of Y–Ru bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.49 Å. There are a spread of Y–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.47 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and six Ge atoms. There are four shorter (2.52 Å) and two longer (2.60 Å) Ru–Ge bond lengths. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.52 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y, three Ru, and four Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Ge–Ge bond lengths. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y, three Ru, and two equivalent Ge atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Ru atoms.
