LiAuC4H12(SO3)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O(3) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one H(1), one H(2), one H(3), and one S(1) atom. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the third H site, H(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. S(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one C(1), one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Au(1) and one S(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one S(1) atom.
