Y3Ru is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and six equivalent Y(2) atoms.
Y3Ru is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.71 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Y(1)-Ru(1) bond length. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. There are a spread of Y(2)-Ru(1) bond distances ranging from 2.86-3.21 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and six equivalent Y(2) atoms.
