The compound described by RuP3O9 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(6) atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. In the second Ru site, Ru(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(4), two equivalent O(5), and two equivalent O(9) atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent P(3)O4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(6), and one O(8) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one P(2)O4 tetrahedra, and  a cornercorner with one P(3)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-56°. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(7), and one O(9) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Ru(1)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one Ru(2)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one P(1)O4 tetrahedra, and  a cornercorner with one P(3)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-55°. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded to one O(4), one O(5), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ru(2)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one P(1)O4 tetrahedra, and  a cornercorner with one P(2)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are nine inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one P(1) and one P(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru(1) and one P(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru(1) and one P(1) atom.
