Nd3Ru is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(2) and six equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
Nd3Ru is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. There are a spread of Nd(1)-Ru(1) bond distances ranging from 2.88-3.46 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.81 Å) and one longer (2.87 Å) Nd(2)-Ru(1) bond length. Ru(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(2) and six equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
