Materials Data on Ba(P2Au)2 by Materials Project
Ba(AuP2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au1+ and four equivalent P1- atoms. All Ba–Au bond lengths are 3.41 Å. All Ba–P bond lengths are 3.53 Å. Au1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent P1- atoms. Both Au–P bond lengths are 2.39 Å. P1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Au1+, and two equivalent P1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.24 Å) P–P bond lengths.
