EuAu2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu(1) and four equivalent Au(1) atoms.
EuAu2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms. There are a spread of Eu(1)-Au(1) bond distances ranging from 3.25-3.46 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu(1) and four equivalent Au(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.76 Å) and one longer (3.04 Å) Au(1)-Au(1) bond length.
