Materials Data on Rb2Au3 by Materials Project
Rb2Au3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to ten Au atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Au bond distances ranging from 3.51–4.14 Å. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rb and four Au atoms. There are a spread of Au–Au bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.89 Å. In the second Au site, Au is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rb and four equivalent Au atoms.
