Materials Data on Na3Au(SO2)4 by Materials Project
Na3(SO2)4Au crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four gold molecules and one Na3(SO2)4 framework. In the Na3(SO2)4 framework, there are three inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.84 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.72 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.99 Å. There are four inequivalent S2+ sites. In the first S2+ site, S2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The S–O bond length is 1.54 Å. In the second S2+ site, S2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The S–O bond length is 1.54 Å. In the third S2+ site, S2+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.47 Å) and two longer (1.48 Å) S–O bond length. In the fourth S2+ site, S2+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.46 Å) and two longer (1.49 Å) S–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Na1+ and one S2+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Na1+ and one S2+ atom.
