Materials Data on BaCuAs by Materials Project
BaCuAs crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to six equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing BaAs6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. All Ba–As bond lengths are 3.43 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent As3- atoms. All Cu–As bond lengths are 2.53 Å. As3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ba2+ and three equivalent Cu1+ atoms.
