GdAuCu4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) and twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded to three equivalent Gd(1), three equivalent Au(1), and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing CuGd3Cu6Au3 cuboctahedra.
GdAuCu4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) and twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms. All Gd(1)-Au(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. All Gd(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms. All Au(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Cu(1) is bonded to three equivalent Gd(1), three equivalent Au(1), and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing CuGd3Cu6Au3 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.49 Å) and three longer (2.53 Å) Cu(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths.
