K2YAuF6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. K(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent F(1) atoms to form KF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Y(1)F6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Au(1)F6 octahedra. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form YF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Au(1)F6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Au(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form AuF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)F6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. F(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent K(1), one Y(1), and one Au(1) atom.
