V3Ru is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(2) and four equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing VV4Ru4 tetrahedra. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent V(2) and eight equivalent V(1) atoms.

In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(2) and four equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing VV4Ru4 tetrahedra. All V(1)-V(2) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. All V(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms. All V(2)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.98 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent V(2) and eight equivalent V(1) atoms.
