Materials Data on Ba6ZrO8 by Materials Project
Ba6ZrO8 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent BaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent BaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–22°. There are two shorter (2.73 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. Zr4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share edges with twelve equivalent BaO6 octahedra. All Zr–O bond lengths are 2.19 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ba2+ and one Zr4+ atom to form distorted OBa4Zr square pyramids that share corners with nine equivalent OBa4Zr square pyramids, edges with four equivalent OBa6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent OBa4Zr square pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to six equivalent Ba2+ atoms to form OBa6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OBa6 octahedra and edges with twelve equivalent OBa4Zr square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
