Materials Data on P2PbAu2 by Materials Project
Au2PbP2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Au2+ sites. In the first Au2+ site, Au2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P3- atoms. Both Au–P bond lengths are 2.38 Å. In the second Au2+ site, Au2+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Pb2+ and two equivalent P3- atoms. The Au–Pb bond length is 2.93 Å. Both Au–P bond lengths are 2.36 Å. Pb2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au2+ atom. P3- is bonded to two Au2+ and two equivalent P3- atoms to form corner-sharing PP2Au2 tetrahedra. Both P–P bond lengths are 2.23 Å.
