In the sixth Au+0.40- site, Au+0.40- is bonded to ten Au+0.40- and two equivalent Sn2+ atoms to form distorted AuSn2Au10 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen AuSn2Au10 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent SnAu12 cuboctahedra, edges with fourteen AuSn3Au9 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SnAu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen AuSn2Au10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Au–Au bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.03 Å. Both Au–Sn bond lengths are 3.00 Å. In the seventh Au+0.40- site, Au+0.40- is bonded to nine Au+0.40- and three equivalent Sn2+ atoms to form distorted AuSn3Au9 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent SnAu12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve AuSn3Au9 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen AuSn2Au10 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SnAu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen AuSn3Au9 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Au–Au bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.02 Å. All Au–Sn bond lengths are 3.00 Å. In the eighth Au+0.40- site, Au+0.40- is bonded to nine Au+0.40- and three equivalent Sn2+ atoms to form distorted AuSn3Au9 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent SnAu12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve AuSn3Au9 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen AuSn2Au10 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SnAu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen AuSn2Au10 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Au–Au bond lengths. All Au–Sn bond lengths are 3.00 Å.
