Materials Data on Yb(PRu)2 by Materials Project
Yb(RuP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P3- atoms. All Yb–P bond lengths are 3.14 Å. Ru2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing RuP4 tetrahedra. All Ru–P bond lengths are 2.34 Å. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb2+, four equivalent Ru2+, and one P3- atom. The P–P bond length is 2.50 Å.
