Ce2RuP2O crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one P(1) and one O(1) atom. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing RuP2Ru4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. P(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ce(1) and one Ru(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) atoms.
Ce2RuP2O crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one P(1) and one O(1) atom. The Ce(1)-P(1) bond length is 2.78 Å. The Ce(1)-O(1) bond length is 2.07 Å. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing RuP2Ru4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. All Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.93 Å. Both Ru(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.22 Å. P(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ce(1) and one Ru(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) atoms.
