AuCrS2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CrS6 octahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cr(1) and one Au(1) atom.
AuCrS2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CrS6 octahedra. All Cr(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.40 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Au(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.30 Å. S(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cr(1) and one Au(1) atom.
