Materials Data on Ba4PtO6 by Materials Project
Ba4PtO6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Ba–O bond lengths are 2.65 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.92 Å. Pt4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Pt–O bond lengths are 2.12 Å. O2- is bonded to five Ba2+ and one Pt4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing OBa5Pt octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–60°.
