Materials Data on H18AuN6Cl by Materials Project

(AuN2H6)2(NH3)8Cl2 is Ammonia-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of sixteen ammonia molecules, four hydrochloric acid molecules, and four AuN2H6 clusters. In each AuN2H6 cluster, Au1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both Au–N bond lengths are 2.06 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Au1+ and three H1+ atoms. There are a spread of N–H bond distances ranging from 1.02–1.05 Å. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom.
