GdNi4Au is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Au(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Gd(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiGd3Ni6Au3 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
