The structure of BaBi{sub 0.5}Sb{sub 0.5}O{sub 3} is determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It is an ordered perovskite, having rhombohedral symmetry, space group R {bar 3}m (No. 166), with lattice parameters a = 6.043(1) {angstrom} and {alpha} = 60.05(2)(degree). The final agreement factor R based on F{sup 2} for 6420 reflections was 0.052. An important structural feature of BaBi{sub 0.5}Sb{sub 0.5}O{sub 3} is the displacements of oxygen atoms from their ideal positions within the pseudo-cubic [110]{sub p} planes, creating an alternative arrangement of (larger) BiO{sub 6} and (smaller) SbO{sub 6} octahedra. Therefore, the valence states of bismuth and antimony can be readily assigned as Bi(III) and Sb(V).
