TbRuB2 is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Tb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and eight equivalent B(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Tb(1) and six equivalent B(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tb(1), three equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
TbRuB2 is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Tb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and eight equivalent B(1) atoms.
