Ge Ge Ru Cl
RuGe2Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Ru(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru(1), eight equivalent Ge(1), and one Cl(1) atom. Both Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. There are a spread of Ru(1)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.43-3.22 Å. The Ru(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 2.91 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.43 Å) and one longer (2.61 Å) Ge(1)-Cl(1) bond length. Cl(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
