Materials Data on BaBi2(IO)2 by Materials Project
BaBi2(OI)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two BaBi2(OI)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ba2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing BaO4 tetrahedra. All Ba–O bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Bi2+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent O2- and four equivalent I1- atoms. Both Bi–O bond lengths are 2.46 Å. All Bi–I bond lengths are 3.38 Å. O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Bi2+ atoms. I1- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Bi2+ atoms.
