Materials Data on Dy3(Al3Ru)4 by Materials Project
Dy3Ru4Al12 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and eleven Al atoms. All Dy–Ru bond lengths are 3.36 Å. There are a spread of Dy–Al bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.20 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy and eight Al atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Al bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.68 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.39 Å) and six longer (2.58 Å) Ru–Al bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and two equivalent Ru atoms. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy and three Ru atoms. In the third Al site, Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy and three equivalent Ru atoms. In the fourth Al site, Al is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent Dy and two equivalent Ru atoms.
