Materials Data on Na2BiAu by Materials Project
Na2AuBi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au and four equivalent Bi atoms. There are two shorter (3.36 Å) and two longer (3.68 Å) Na–Au bond lengths. There are a spread of Na–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.50 Å. Au is bonded to eight equivalent Na, two equivalent Au, and two equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing AuNa8Bi2Au2 cuboctahedra. Both Au–Au bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Both Au–Bi bond lengths are 2.81 Å. Bi is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Na and two equivalent Au atoms.
