Materials Data on Hg5Au6 by Materials Project

Au6Hg5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Au1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Au1- and five Hg+1.20+ atoms. There are a spread of Au–Au bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.98 Å. There are a spread of Au–Hg bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.03 Å. There are two inequivalent Hg+1.20+ sites. In the first Hg+1.20+ site, Hg+1.20+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au1- atoms. In the second Hg+1.20+ site, Hg+1.20+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au1- atoms.
