AgAlO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ag(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing AgO5 trigonal bipyramids. Al(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ag(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ag(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OAl3Ag tetrahedra.
