AuB2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Au(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing AuB12 cuboctahedra. B(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Au(1) and three equivalent B(1) atoms.
