Materials Data on In2Au3 by Materials Project
Au3In2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Au1- sites. In the first Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Au1- and five equivalent In+1.50+ atoms. All Au–Au bond lengths are 2.92 Å. There are a spread of Au–In bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.94 Å. In the second Au1- site, Au1- is bonded to six equivalent Au1- and six equivalent In+1.50+ atoms to form face-sharing AuIn6Au6 cuboctahedra. All Au–In bond lengths are 3.31 Å. In+1.50+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to eight Au1- atoms.
