NaYAu₂ is an intermetallic compound combining sodium, yttrium, and gold in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material within the broader family of ternary metallic compounds, not widely commercialized for mainstream engineering applications. Interest in such gold-bearing intermetallics centers on specialized properties potentially relevant to high-performance alloy development, catalysis, or advanced material studies where the combination of rare earth (yttrium) and precious metal (gold) elements offers unique phase stability or functional characteristics.
