The new ternary oxide Sr{sup 2}Ru{sub 3}O{sub 10} has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions (480--650 C, 1800--2100 bars) and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction data. The structure was refined in C2/m space group with a = 10.985(3) {angstrom}, b = 5.635(1) {angstrom}, c = 6.452(6) {angstrom}, and {beta} = 105.3(4){degree}. The structure refinement converged to R = 0.032 and R{sub w} = 0.042. The ruthenium atoms with a mean oxidation number of 5.33 occupy two sorts of octahedral sites. The first form infinite rutile-like chains parallel to the b axis, while the second link these chains together to form layers parallel to (100) plane. The average Ru-O bond distance in the two types of octahedra does not allow assignment of an integral oxidation number to individual Ru ions. The Sr{sup 2+} cations are located in the interlayer space ensuring the stacking cohesion. The Sr{sub 2}Ru{sub 3}O{sub 10} structure can also be described by the stacking of SrO{sub 5} layers. The same stoichiometry is encountered in the barium fluorides Ba{sub 2}M{sub 3}F{sub 10} (M = Ni, Cu, or Zn) but the stacking sequence is based on BaF{sub 3} and BaF{sub 7} layers. Sr{sub 2}Ru{sub 3}O{sub 10} is the first example of strontium ruthenium oxide with Ru/Sr ratio higher than one. The Sr/Ru ratio is allowed by the existence of SrO{sub 5} layers, which creates 1.5 octahedral sites per SrO{sub 5} layer.
