Materials Data on ErGeRu by Materials Project
ErRuGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Er–Ru bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.00 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.30 Å. Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are three shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.59 Å) Ru–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and four equivalent Ru atoms.
