Materials Data on BaGe3 by Materials Project
BaGe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing BaGe12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.46 Å) and six longer (3.60 Å) Ba–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.61 Å) and four longer (3.03 Å) Ge–Ge bond lengths.
