Materials Data on Pu(SiRu)2 by Materials Project
PuRu2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Si4- atoms. All Pu–Si bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Ru+2.50+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing RuSi4 tetrahedra. All Ru–Si bond lengths are 2.39 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pu3+ and four equivalent Ru+2.50+ atoms.
