LiRuO2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-49°. Ru(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-49°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi3Ru3 pentagonal pyramids.
