Materials Data on KRuO2 by Materials Project
KRuO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing KO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.57 Å) and two longer (2.96 Å) K–O bond lengths. Ru3+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Ru–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Ru3+ atoms.
