NaRuO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Na(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Na(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. Ru(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Na(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Na(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ONa3Ru3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
