Materials Data on Ba(POs)2 by Materials Project
Ba(OsP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Os2- atoms. All Ba–Os bond lengths are 3.69 Å. Os2- is bonded to four equivalent Ba2+ and four equivalent P1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OsBa4P4 tetrahedra. All Os–P bond lengths are 2.35 Å. P1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Os2- atoms.
