Materials Data on Au3Br by Materials Project
Au3Br crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Au+0.33+ sites. In the first Au+0.33+ site, Au+0.33+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Br1- atoms. All Au–Br bond lengths are 3.07 Å. In the second Au+0.33+ site, Au+0.33+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Br1- atoms. All Au–Br bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Br1- is bonded to twelve Au+0.33+ atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing BrAu12 cuboctahedra.
