BaB2O4 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.13 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Ba–O bond lengths are 2.72 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.33 Å) and two longer (1.41 Å) B–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Ba2+ and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba2+ and two equivalent B3+ atoms.
