The crystal structure of the Sm2Ru3 Si-5 compound was refined from single-c
rystal diffraction (P4/mnc) space group, a=10.747(6) A, c=5.695(3) Angstrom
) to R=0.0194 for 496 reflections with I-o > 4 sigma(I-o). The compound bel
ongs to a U2Mn3Si5-type structure. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All right
