Materials Data on LaAuO2 by Materials Project
LaAuO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All La–O bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Au1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Au–O bond lengths are 2.03 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent La3+ and one Au1+ atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLa3Au tetrahedra.
