Abstract
γ1-AuZn2.1 in the Au–Zn binary system has been synthesized and its structure analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the trigonal space group P31m (No. 157) with ∼227 atoms per unit cell and represents a \surd3a × \surd3a × c superstructure of rhombohedrally distorted γ-Au5–x
Zn8+y
. The structure is largely tetrahedrally closed packed. The formation of γ1-AuZn2.1 can be understood within the framework of a Hume-Rothery stabilization mechanism with a valence electron concentration of 1.68 e/a (valence electrons per atom).
