Materials Data on LiAuC2 by Materials Project
LiAuC2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent C atoms. All Li–C bond lengths are 2.32 Å. Au1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C atoms. Both Au–C bond lengths are 2.00 Å. C is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li1+, one Au1-, and one C atom. The C–C bond length is 1.25 Å.
