NdRu3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NdRu12 cuboctahedra. Ru(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
NdRu3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NdRu12 cuboctahedra. All Nd(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.61 Å) and two longer (3.16 Å) Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths.
