MgSc2Ru crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing MgMg4Sc8 cuboctahedra. Sc(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Ru(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
