Y(RuB)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ru(1) and six equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing YB6Ru6 cuboctahedra. Ru(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Ru(1), and three equivalent B(1) atoms.
Y(RuB)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ru(1) and six equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing YB6Ru6 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.85 Å) and two longer (2.86 Å) Y(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Y(1)-B(1) bond distances ranging from 2.76-2.79 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.17 Å) and one longer (2.26 Å) Ru(1)-B(1) bond length. B(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Ru(1), and three equivalent B(1) atoms. There are a spread of B(1)-B(1) bond distances ranging from 1.84-1.96 Å.
