description: La5AuCu4Al15 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4mm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu and twelve Al atoms. All La–Cu bond lengths are 3.38 Å. There are a spread of La–Al bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.43 Å. In the second La site, La is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu and twelve Al atoms. All La–Cu bond lengths are 3.37 Å. There are a spread of La–Al bond distances ranging from 3.23–3.46 Å. In the third La site, La is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu and twelve Al atoms. All La–Cu bond lengths are 3.37 Å. There are a spread of La–Al bond distances ranging from 3.23–3.46 Å. In the fourth La site, La is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu and twelve Al atoms. All La–Cu bond lengths are 3.37 Å. There are a spread of La–Al bond distances ranging from 3.23–3.46 Å. In the fifth La site, La is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Au and twelve Al atoms. All La–Au bond lengths are 3.38 Å. There are a spread of La–Al bond distances ranging from 3.24–3.55 Å. Au is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and five Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.50 Å) and four longer (2.56 Å) Au–Al bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and five Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.42 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Cu–Al bond lengths. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and five Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Cu–Al bond lengths. In the third Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and five Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Cu–Al bond lengths. In the fourth Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and five Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.49 Å) Cu–Al bond lengths. There are ten inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to four La, two equivalent Cu, and two equivalent Al atoms. Both Al–Al bond lengths are 2.73 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to four La, two equivalent Cu, and two equivalent Al atoms.
