Materials Data on PuB2Ru by Materials Project
PuRuB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent B3- atoms. There are a spread of Pu–B bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.91 Å. Ru3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent B3- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–B bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.33 Å. B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pu3+, three equivalent Ru3+, and two equivalent B3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.76 Å) and one longer (1.82 Å) B–B bond length.
