Materials Data on RuF5 by Materials Project
RuF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two RuF5 clusters. Ru5+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing RuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–45°. There are a spread of Ru–F bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.05 Å. There are ten inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. The F–Ru bond length is 1.87 Å. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru5+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. The F–Ru bond length is 1.87 Å. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. The F–Ru bond length is 1.84 Å. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. The F–Ru bond length is 1.84 Å. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru5+ atom. In the tenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru5+ atoms.
