In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six BaO6 octahedra and corners with three BaO6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–55°. There is one shorter (1.78 Å) and three longer (1.79 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three BaO6 octahedra and corners with six BaO6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–57°. There is one shorter (1.78 Å) and three longer (1.79 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the third Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three BaO6 octahedra and corners with three BaO6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. There is three shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (1.80 Å) Ge–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to six Ba2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing OBa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–3°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OBa3Ge tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–65°. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom.
