KAuS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. K(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au(1) and five equivalent S(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent K(1) and two equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SK5Au2 pentagonal bipyramids.
KAuS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. K(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au(1) and five equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.38 Å) and four longer (3.71 Å) K(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of K(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 3.21-3.60 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent K(1) and two equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Au(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.32 Å. S(1) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SK5Au2 pentagonal bipyramids.
