Materials Data on H3Ru3C10ClO9 by Materials Project
(RuH)3(CO)9CCl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four chloromethane molecules, thirty-six formaldehyde molecules, and four RuH clusters. In each RuH cluster, there are two inequivalent Ru+2.67+ sites. In the first Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent H1+ atoms. Both Ru–H bond lengths are 1.82 Å. In the second Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.81 Å) and one longer (1.82 Å) Ru–H bond length. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms.
