KAuN12 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. K(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(5), four equivalent N(2), and four equivalent N(6) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(5) atoms. There are six inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Au(1) and one N(3) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one N(4) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(6) atom. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(2) and one N(5) atom. In the fifth N site, N(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one K(1), one Au(1), and one N(4) atom. In the sixth N site, N(6) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one N(3) atom.
