In the fifth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted BiO5 square pyramids that share corners with seven BiO5 square pyramids, a cornercorner with one BiO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one BiO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.60 Å. In the sixth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing BiO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.65 Å. In the seventh Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted BiO5 square pyramids that share corners with seven BiO5 square pyramids, a cornercorner with one BiO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one BiO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.54 Å. In the eighth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing BiO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.28 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. In the ninth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted BiO5 square pyramids that share corners with six BiO5 square pyramids, a cornercorner with one BiO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one BiO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.55 Å. In the tenth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All Bi–O bond lengths are 2.12 Å. There are fifteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Bi3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Bi3+ atoms.
