description: Sm3RuO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Sm3+ sites. In the first Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two RuO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two RuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–44°. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.51 Å. In the second Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two RuO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two RuO6 octahedra.

In the third Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.60 Å. In the fourth Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.95 Å.
