Ru3Zn11Sb crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ama2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten Zn and one Sb atom. There are a spread of Ru–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.82 Å. The Ru–Sb bond length is 2.70 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight Zn and two equivalent Sb atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.76 Å. There are one shorter (2.69 Å) and one longer (2.80 Å) Ru–Sb bond lengths. There are seven inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ru, one Zn, and two equivalent Sb atoms. The Zn–Zn bond length is 2.96 Å.
