Materials Data on BaLaCuRuO6 by Materials Project
LaBaCuRuO6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent RuO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.76–3.04 Å. La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.47 Å) and four longer (2.76 Å) La–O bond lengths. Ru5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CuO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–27°. There is four shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Ru–O bond length. Cu2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent RuO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–27°. There are four shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent La3+, one Ru5+, and one Cu2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OBa2La2CuRu octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one La3+, one Ru5+, and one Cu2+ atom.
