The material structure described by VAu3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. V(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing VAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent V(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
