Materials Data on Y2B6Ru by Materials Project
Y2RuB6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Y3+ sites. In the first Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to fourteen B2- atoms. There are a spread of Y–B bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.81 Å. In the second Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to twelve B2- atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing YB12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Y–B bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.64 Å. Ru6+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten B2- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–B bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.41 Å. There are six inequivalent B2- sites. In the first B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y3+, two equivalent Ru6+, and three B2- atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.78–1.84 Å. In the second B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Y3+, two equivalent Ru6+, and three B2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.81 Å) and one longer (1.82 Å) B–B bond length. In the third B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Y3+, two equivalent Ru6+, and three B2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.73 Å) and one longer (1.88 Å) B–B bond length. In the fourth B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Y3+, two equivalent Ru6+, and three B2- atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.79 Å. In the fifth B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Y3+, two equivalent Ru6+, and three B2- atoms. In the sixth B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Y3+ and three B2- atoms. The B–B bond length is 2.16 Å.
