Materials Data on Th(SiRu)2 by Materials Project
ThRu2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Si4- atoms. All Th–Si bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Ru2+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing RuSi4 tetrahedra. All Ru–Si bond lengths are 2.41 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th4+ and four equivalent Ru2+ atoms.
