Materials Data on BaCu(SeO3)2 by Materials Project
BaCu(SeO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.09 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.44 Å. There are two inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.70 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) Se–O bond length. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.70 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) Se–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom.
