Materials Data on La5Ru2 by Materials Project
La5Ru2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru atoms. There are a spread of La–Ru bond distances ranging from 2.72–3.64 Å. In the second La site, La is bonded to four equivalent Ru atoms to form distorted edge-sharing LaRu4 tetrahedra. All La–Ru bond lengths are 3.06 Å. In the third La site, La is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru atoms. There are a spread of La–Ru bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.29 Å. Ru is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight La atoms.
