Materials Data on NbRu3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ru3Nb is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru atoms to form NbRu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NbRu12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent RuNb4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent NbRu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent RuNb4Ru8 cuboctahedra. All Nb–Ru bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Ru is bonded to four equivalent Nb and eight equivalent Ru atoms to form distorted RuNb4Ru8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RuNb4Ru8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent NbRu12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent RuNb4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent NbRu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent RuNb4Ru8 cuboctahedra. All Ru–Ru bond lengths are 2.76 Å.
