The Materials Project

Mg3Au crystallizes in the trigonal P-3c1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Au atoms. There are two shorter (2.85 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Mg–Au bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Au atoms. All Mg–Au bond lengths are 2.74 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Au atoms. All Mg–Au bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Au is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Mg atoms.
