Rb(RuP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing RuP4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and four equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
