Li3AuN2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Au(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Li(1) and eight equivalent Li(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and two equivalent N(1) atoms.
Li3AuN2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Au(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms. The Li(1)-Au(1) bond length is 2.74 Å. All Li(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.18 Å. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.70 Å) and two longer (3.08 Å) Li(2)-Au(1) bond lengths. Both Li(2)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.45 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Li(1) and eight equivalent Li(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both N(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.40 Å.
