BaRuGe is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ru(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.01 Å) and three longer (3.04 Å) Ba(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.01 Å) and one longer (3.12 Å) Ba(1)-Ge(1) bond length. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form RuBa4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Ba4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form GeBa4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ru(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ru(1)Ba4 tetrahedra.
