Materials Data on Dy3Ru by Materials Project
Dy3Ru is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Ru bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.22 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru atoms. There are one shorter (2.75 Å) and one longer (2.79 Å) Dy–Ru bond lengths. Ru is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Dy atoms.
