NaBeAs crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Na(1) is bonded to six equivalent Be(1) and six equivalent As(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing NaBe6As6 cuboctahedra. Be(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent As(1) atoms. As(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent Be(1) atoms.
