- (Hiraga, 1982) give the structure in setting $P2_{1}/b$ of space group #14. There seems to be a misprint in Table 1 of this paper: the $z$-coordinate of the final gold atom is given as 1/7. If we use this value, many of the Au-Au atomic distances are under 2Å, much too small for the Au-Mn system. (Villars, 2016) uses $z = 1/2$ instead. As this gives a reasonable structure, we follow their lead. This changes the space group from $P2_{1}/c$ to $C2/m$ #12, so we place the structure in space group #12.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \cos{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+c \sin{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
\end{array}\]
