Materials Data on Au3O by Materials Project
Au3O crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Au3O ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Au+0.67+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Au–O bond lengths are 2.40 Å. O2- is bonded to six equivalent Au+0.67+ atoms to form distorted face-sharing OAu6 pentagonal pyramids.
