Although compound formation between two elements is well studied, thorough investigations make it possible to uncover new binary compounds. A re-examination of the La-Au system revealed three new phases, which were characterized with respect to their structural and electronic properties as well as thermal stability La7Au3 (Th7Fe3 type, space group P63mc, Pearson code hP2 appears to be metastable. It can be obtained by slow crystallization from a stoichiometric melt. La3Au2 (U3Si2 type, space group P4/mbm, Pearson code tP1 is stabl
