Materials Data on Lu3Ge3Ru2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Lu3Ru2Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and six Ge atoms. There are one shorter (3.07 Å) and three longer (3.11 Å) Lu–Ru bond lengths. There are a spread of Lu–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.10 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and five Ge atoms. All Lu–Ru bond lengths are 3.19 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.25 Å. Ru is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Lu and four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.66 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five Lu, three equivalent Ru, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.66 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Lu and two equivalent Ru atoms.
