Materials Data on Nb3Au by Materials Project
Nb3Au crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb and four equivalent Au atoms. Both Nb–Nb bond lengths are 2.63 Å. All Nb–Au bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Au is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing AuNb12 cuboctahedra.
