LaRuCl is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Ru(1) and one Cl(1) atom. There is one shorter (2.58 Å) and three longer (2.88 Å) La(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. The La(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.73 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Ru(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one La(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
