Materials Data on K2PAu by Materials Project
K2AuP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au1+ and four equivalent P3- atoms. Both K–Au bond lengths are 3.52 Å. There are a spread of K–P bond distances ranging from 3.32–3.70 Å. Au1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent K1+ and two equivalent P3- atoms. Both Au–P bond lengths are 2.42 Å. P3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Au1+ atoms.
