AuSn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AuSn12 cuboctahedra. Sn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) atoms.
AuSn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AuSn12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.22 Å) and six longer (3.33 Å) Au(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. Sn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) atoms.
