MoRu3 is Magnesium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mo(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form MoRu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mo(1) and eight equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form RuMo4Ru8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra.

There are six shorter (2.69 Å) and six longer (2.73 Å) Mo(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mo(1) and eight equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form RuMo4Ru8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mo(1)Ru12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Ru(1)Mo4Ru8 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond distances ranging from 2.68-2.74 Å.
