AuPb3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pb atoms. There are a spread of Au–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.14 Å. In the second Au site, Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pb atoms. There are a spread of Au–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.14 Å. In the third Au site, Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pb atoms. There are a spread of Au–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.14 Å. There are seven inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Au atoms. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Au atoms. In the third Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Au atoms. In the fourth Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Au atoms. In the fifth Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Au atoms. In the sixth Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Au atoms. In the seventh Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Au atoms.
