Au3Zn crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. There are three inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second Au site, Au(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the third Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent Au(1), four equivalent Au(2), and four equivalent Au(3) atoms.
Au3Zn crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. There are three inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Both Au(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. In the second Au site, Au(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.75 Å) and two longer (2.76 Å) Au(3)-Zn(1) bond lengths. In the third Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. All Au(2)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent Au(1), four equivalent Au(2), and four equivalent Au(3) atoms.
