AuAlO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing AlO6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded to one Au(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OAl3Au tetrahedra.
AuAlO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Au(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.11 Å. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing AlO6 octahedra. All Al(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.92 Å. O(1) is bonded to one Au(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OAl3Au tetrahedra.
