Li3AuN2 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Au(1), one N(1), and two equivalent N(2) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms.
Li3AuN2 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Au(1), one N(1), and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.64 Å) and one longer (2.69 Å) Li(1)-Au(1) bond length. The Li(1)-N(1) bond length is 2.02 Å. There is one shorter (2.10 Å) and one longer (2.18 Å) Li(1)-N(2) bond length. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. All Au(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 2.13 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms.
