Ba2GdRuO6 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ba(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1), four equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Gd(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra. Gd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form GdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 5-7°. Ru(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Gd(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 5-7°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one Gd(1), and one Ru(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one Gd(1), and one Ru(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one Gd(1), and one Ru(1) atom.
