VRu4Ni crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. V(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1), three equivalent Ru(2), and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All V(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.94 Å. All V(1)-Ru(2) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. All V(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.91 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ru(1), and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Ru(2)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.07 Å. All Ru(2)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.90 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Ru(2), two equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Both Ru(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 1.20 Å. There is one shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.78 Å) Ru(1)-Ni(1) bond length. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ru(2), and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NiV3Ru9 cuboctahedra.
