The crystal structure described by Nd5Ru2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second Nd site, Nd(3) is bonded to four equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NdRu4 tetrahedra. In the third Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(3), three equivalent Nd(1), and three equivalent Nd(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
