Materials Data on RbAuO by Materials Project
RbAuO crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. Au1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Au–O bond lengths are 2.06 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Au1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ORb4Au2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–8°.
