Materials Data on Ag3AuS2 by Materials Project
Ag3AuS2 crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Au1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ag1+ and two S2- atoms. There are three shorter (3.08 Å) and three longer (3.12 Å) Au–Ag bond lengths. Both Au–S bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Ag1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au1+, four equivalent Ag1+, and four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.10 Å. There are a spread of Ag–S bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.87 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Au1+ and six equivalent Ag1+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Au1+ and six equivalent Ag1+ atoms.
