The structure described by GdRu2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) and nine equivalent Ru(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) and six equivalent Ru(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing RuGd6Ru6 cuboctahedra. In the second Ru site, Ru(2) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent Ru(1), and four equivalent Ru(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing RuGd6Ru6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
