NiAuO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ni(1) and one Au(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONi3Au tetrahedra.
NiAuO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra. All Ni(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.97 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Au(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.03 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ni(1) and one Au(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONi3Au tetrahedra.
