Ag3AuS2 crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. Au(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ag(1), one S(1), and one S(2) atom. Ag(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au(1), four equivalent Ag(1), two equivalent S(1), and two equivalent S(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to one Au(1) and six equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SAg6Au hexagonal pyramids. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to one Au(1) and six equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SAg6Au hexagonal pyramids.
Ag3AuS2 crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. Au(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ag(1), one S(1), and one S(2) atom. There are three shorter (3.08 Å) and three longer (3.12 Å) Au(1)-Ag(1) bond lengths. The Au(1)-S(1) bond length is 2.37 Å. The Au(1)-S(2) bond length is 2.37 Å. Ag(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au(1), four equivalent Ag(1), two equivalent S(1), and two equivalent S(2) atoms. There are a spread of Ag(1)-Ag(1) bond distances ranging from 2.95-3.10 Å. There is one shorter (2.66 Å) and one longer (2.86 Å) Ag(1)-S(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.67 Å) and one longer (2.87 Å) Ag(1)-S(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites.
