LiAu3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing LiAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
LiAu3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing LiAu12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.80 Å) and six longer (2.89 Å) Li(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
