BaTiO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic C222_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, faces with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–9°. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.08 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.93 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, faces with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–10°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.17 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent TiO6 octahedra and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–10°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.17 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two Ti4+ atoms.
