The low-temperature form of CaAuSn has an EuAuGe-type structure (space group Imm2), with a = 4.5261 (7) Å, b = 7.1356 (11) Å and c = 7.8147 (11) Å. This structure is one of the two parent structures of its high-temperature polymorph (ca 873 K), which is an intergrowth structure of the EuAuGe- and SrMgSi-type structures in a 2:3 ratio.
