WRu3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. W(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form WRu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent W(1) and eight equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form RuRu8W4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra.

There are six shorter (2.69 Å) and six longer (2.74 Å) W(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent W(1) and eight equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form RuRu8W4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent W(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Ru(1)Ru8W4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond distances ranging from 2.69-2.74 Å.
