VAu2Al crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. V(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Au(1), four equivalent Au(2), and three equivalent Al(1) atoms. All V(1)-Au(1) bond lengths are 2.71 Å. There is one shorter (2.34 Å) and three longer (2.96 Å) V(1)-Au(2) bond lengths. All V(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 2.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one Al(1) atom. The Au(1)-Al(1) bond length is 2.34 Å. In the second Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent V(1) and one Al(1) atom. The Au(2)-Al(1) bond length is 2.05 Å. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent V(1), one Au(1), and one Au(2) atom.
