AuF5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four AuF5 clusters. Au(1) is bonded to one F(1), one F(2), one F(3), one F(4), one F(5), and one F(6) atom to form edge-sharing AuF6 octahedra. There are six inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the third F site, F(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the fourth F site, F(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the fifth F site, F(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Au(1) atoms. In the sixth F site, F(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Au(1) atoms.
