The material described by AuSn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AuSn12 cuboctahedra. Sn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
