Materials Data on NiAuO2 by Materials Project
NiAuO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni2+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra. All Ni–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å. Au2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Au–O bond lengths are 2.03 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Ni2+ and one Au2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONi3Au tetrahedra.
