Ba3CaBi2O9 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm 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 twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra, and faces with six BiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.12 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 BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent CaO6 octahedra, and faces with five BiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.14 Å. Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with six BiO6 octahedra and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are four shorter (2.27 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Bi5+ sites. In the first Bi5+ site, Bi5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent BiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CaO6 octahedra, and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are four shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.22 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. In the second Bi5+ site, Bi5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent BiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CaO6 octahedra, and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–6°. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.24 Å. In the third Bi5+ site, Bi5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with six BiO6 octahedra and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and four longer (2.14 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+ and two Bi5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+, one Ca2+, and one Bi5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+ and two Bi5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, one Ca2+, and one Bi5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+, one Ca2+, and one Bi5+ atom.
