The compound described by KAu(CN)2 is Potassium Silver Cyanide-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing KN6 octahedra. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing KN6 octahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Au(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded to one K(1), two equivalent K(2), and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NK3C tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
