Materials Data on BaPr2O4 by Materials Project
BaPr2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.09 Å. There are two inequivalent Pr3+ sites. In the first Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–63°. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.49 Å. In the second Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–63°. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.53 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ba2+ and three equivalent Pr3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa2Pr3 trigonal bipyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and three Pr3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ba2+ and three equivalent Pr3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OBa2Pr3 square pyramids. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and three Pr3+ atoms.
