NaAuO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Na(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NaO6 octahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONa3Au2 trigonal bipyramids.
NaAuO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Na(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NaO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and four longer (2.41 Å) Na(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Au(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.02 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONa3Au2 trigonal bipyramids.
