Materials Data on Ba3SiO by Materials Project
Ba3SiO is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent Si4- and two equivalent O2- atoms. All Ba–Si bond lengths are 3.84 Å. Both Ba–O bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Si4- is bonded to twelve equivalent Ba2+ atoms to form SiBa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent SiBa12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent SiBa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent OBa6 octahedra. O2- is bonded to six equivalent Ba2+ atoms to form OBa6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OBa6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent SiBa12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
