VRuB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ru(1), three equivalent B(2), and four equivalent B(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V(1), three equivalent B(1), and four equivalent B(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), four equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
VRuB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ru(1), three equivalent B(2), and four equivalent B(1) atoms. There are a spread of V(1)-Ru(1) bond distances ranging from 2.71-2.79 Å. There are a spread of V(1)-B(2) bond distances ranging from 2.28-2.42 Å. There are two shorter (2.25 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) V(1)-B(1) bond lengths. Ru(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V(1), three equivalent B(1), and four equivalent B(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.31 Å) and two longer (2.34 Å) Ru(1)-B(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.28 Å) and two longer (2.29 Å) Ru(1)-B(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. Both B(1)-B(2) bond lengths are 1.76 Å. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), four equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
