Materials Data on Si2Ru by Materials Project

Abstract

RuSi2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Si bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.49 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Si bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.53 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ru and five Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.70 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ru and five Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.55 Å) and one longer (2.59 Å) Si–Si bond lengths.
