Monostrontium ruthenate is the

inorganic compound In chemistry, an inorganic compound is typically a chemical compound that lacks carbon–hydrogen bonds, that is, a compound that is not an organic compound. The study of inorganic compounds is a subfield of chemistry known as '' inorganic chemist ...

perovskite structure A perovskite is any material with a crystal structure following the formula ABX3, which was first discovered as the mineral called perovskite, which consists of calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3). The mineral was first discovered in the Ural mou ...

as do many complex metal oxides with the ABO₃ formula. The Ru⁴⁺ ions occupy the octahedral sites and the larger Sr²⁺ ions are distorted 12-coordinate.
