ZrRuP crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ru(1), one P(2), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(1), two equivalent Ru(1), two equivalent P(1), and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RuZr6P4Ru2 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zr(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
ZrRuP crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ru(1), one P(2), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.90 Å) and four longer (3.01 Å) Zr(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. The Zr(1)-P(2) bond length is 2.68 Å. All Zr(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.72 Å. Ru(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(1), two equivalent Ru(1), two equivalent P(1), and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RuZr6P4Ru2 cuboctahedra. Both Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Both Ru(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.49 Å. Both Ru(1)-P(2) bond lengths are 2.47 Å. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zr(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
