Materials Data on BiAu2 by Materials Project
Au2Bi is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Au1- is bonded to six equivalent Au1- and six equivalent Bi2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing AuBi6Au6 cuboctahedra. All Au–Au bond lengths are 2.86 Å. All Au–Bi bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Bi2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Au1- atoms.
