Ba(RuSb)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ru(1) and eight equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing RuBa4Sb4 tetrahedra. Sb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and four equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
