The crystal structure described by RuZn3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Zn(1), four equivalent Zn(2), and four equivalent Zn(3) atoms to form RuZn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Zn(3)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(3)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ru(1), four equivalent Zn(2), and four equivalent Zn(3) atoms to form distorted ZnZn8Ru4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Zn(3)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(3)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Ru(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded to four equivalent Ru(1), four equivalent Zn(1), and four equivalent Zn(3) atoms to form ZnZn8Ru4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(3)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ru(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Zn(3)Zn8Ru4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
