Materials Data on Ba(HO)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba(OH)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four H1+ and eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–H bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.05 Å. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.05 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three H1+ and seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–H bond distances ranging from 2.84–2.98 Å. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.89 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ba2+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Ba2+ and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four Ba2+ and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four Ba2+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four Ba2+ and one H1+ atom.
