Mo6RuIr crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent Ir(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form RuMo12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ru(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ir(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra. Ir(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form IrMo12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ir(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ru(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra.
Mo6RuIr crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent Ir(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.51 Å) Mo(1)-Mo(1) bond length. Both Mo(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Both Mo(1)-Ir(1) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Ru(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form RuMo12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ru(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ir(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra. Ir(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form IrMo12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ir(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ru(1)Mo12 cuboctahedra.
