The crystal structure described by KAuF6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. K(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent F(1) atoms to form KF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Au(1)F6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent Au(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. Au(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form AuF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent K(1)F12 cuboctahedra. F(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one Au(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
