BaRu2(XeF5)4XeF2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmmm space group. The structure consists of four xenon;dihydrofluoride molecules inside a BaRu2(XeF5)4 framework. In the BaRu2(XeF5)4 framework, there are two inequivalent Xe sites. In the first Xe site, Xe(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent F(2) atoms. In the second Xe site, Xe(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent F(3) atoms. Ba(1) is bonded to four equivalent F(2), four equivalent F(3), and four equivalent F(4) atoms to form BaF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ru(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 23°. Ru(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(4) and four equivalent F(5) atoms to form RuF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ba(1)F12 cuboctahedra. There are four inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Xe(2) and one Ba(1) atom. In the second F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Xe(3) and one Ba(1) atom. In the third F site, F(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(1) and one Ru(1) atom. In the fourth F site, F(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) atom.
