Materials Data on NaGeAu3 by Materials Project
NaAu3Ge crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Au1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–Au bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.40 Å. Au1- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Na1+, six equivalent Au1-, and two equivalent Ge2+ atoms. There are a spread of Au–Au bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.12 Å. There are one shorter (2.57 Å) and one longer (2.71 Å) Au–Ge bond lengths. Ge2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au1- atoms.
