ZrRu3C is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Zr(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form ZrRu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Zr(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Zr(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent C(1)Ru6 octahedra. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing RuZr4C2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form CRu6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent C(1)Ru6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Zr(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
