Materials Data on PuB4Ru by Materials Project

Abstract

PuRuB4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu3+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to fourteen B+1.50- atoms. There are a spread of Pu–B bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.76 Å. Ru3+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten B+1.50- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–B bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.38 Å. There are three inequivalent B+1.50- sites. In the first B+1.50- site, B+1.50- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pu3+, two equivalent Ru3+, and three B+1.50- atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.87 Å. In the second B+1.50- site, B+1.50- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pu3+, two equivalent Ru3+, and three B+1.50- atoms. The B–B bond length is 1.82 Å. In the third B+1.50- site, B+1.50- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pu3+, four equivalent Ru3+, and three B+1.50- atoms. The B–B bond length is 1.73 Å.
