Materials Data on SiRu2 by Materials Project
Ru2Si is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ru2+ sites. In the first Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Si bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.88 Å. In the second Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Si bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.86 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Ru2+ atoms.
