There is one shorter (1.39 Å) and two longer (1.41 Å) B–O bond length. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.39 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent La3+, and two Cu+1.75+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent La3+, and two Cu+1.75+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent La3+, and two Cu+1.75+ atoms to form distorted OBa2La2Cu2 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent OBa2La2Cu2 octahedra, edges with two equivalent OBa2La2Cu2 octahedra, and a faceface with one OBa4Cu square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–12°.
