WRuB2 is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. W(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B(2) and four equivalent B(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to 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 W(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 W(1), four equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
WRuB2 is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. W(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B(2) and four equivalent B(1) atoms. There are a spread of W(1)-B(2) bond distances ranging from 2.39-2.50 Å. There are two shorter (2.33 Å) and two longer (2.34 Å) W(1)-B(1) bond lengths. Ru(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B(1) and four equivalent B(2) atoms. There are a spread of Ru(1)-B(1) bond distances ranging from 2.29-2.62 Å. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.30 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 W(1), three equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. Both B(1)-B(2) bond lengths are 1.79 Å. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W(1), four equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
