Ca3Ru3Zn13 was synthesized from the elements in a tantalum tube in a muffle furnace. The sample was annealed to 1123 K followed by slow cooling to enhance crystal growth. Ca3Ru3Zn13 was characterized through a Guinier powder pattern. The structure was refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: new type, Pbcn, a = 522.92(5), b = 1792.72(14), c = 2789.6(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0590, 3451 F 2 values, 177 variables. One can describe the Ca3Ru3Zn13 structure by a stacking of closest packed layers of compositions Ca6Zn10, Ca6Zn12 and Ru6Zn15. The calcium atoms have high coordination numbers: Ca1@Zn13Ru3Ca2, Ca2@Zn15Ru4Ca, Ca3@Zn15Ru4Ca and Ca4@Zn15Ru4Ca. The shortest interatomic distances occur between the ruthenium and zinc atoms (255–273 pm). The Ru1@Zn8, Ru2@Zn10 and Ru3@Zn8 polyhedra condense via common edges to the [Ru3Zn13] substructure which hosts the calcium atoms. The zinc substructure consists of 15 crystallographically independent zinc sites with a broader range of Zn–Zn distances (255–307 pm).

Ca3Ru3Zn13 – 由最密堆积层组成的富锌金属间相

钙3汝3锌13是由马弗炉中钽管中的元素合成的。将样品退火至 1123 K，然后缓慢冷却以促进晶体生长。钙3汝3锌13通过 Guinier 粉末图案进行表征。根据单晶X射线衍射仪数据精炼结构：新型，铅,A= 522.92(5),乙= 1792.72(14),C= 2789.6(2) 下午,WR2 = 0.0590, 3451F 2值，177 个变量。可以描述Ca3汝3锌13由最密堆积的成分 Ca 层堆叠而成的结构6锌10, 钙6锌12和茹6锌15。钙原子具有高配位数：Ca1@Zn13汝3钙2, Ca2@Zn15汝4钙、钙@锌15汝4Ca 和 Ca4@Zn15汝4约。最短的原子间距离出现在钌和锌原子之间（255-273 pm）。 Ru1@Zn8, Ru2@Zn10和Ru3@Zn8多面体通过公共边凝聚到[Ru3锌13] 承载钙原子的子结构。锌亚结构由 15 个晶体学上独立的锌位点组成，具有更广泛的 Zn-Zn 距离 (255-307 pm)。
