Materials Data on Na2AgAuCl6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2AuAgCl6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl1- atoms to form distorted NaCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NaCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent NaCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AuCl6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent AgCl6 octahedra. All Na–Cl bond lengths are 3.60 Å. Au3+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form AuCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AgCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent NaCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Au–Cl bond lengths are 2.53 Å. Ag1+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form AgCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AuCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent NaCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Ag–Cl bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent Na1+, one Au3+, and one Ag1+ atom.
