Title: Materials Data on Ba2CuGe2O7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba2CuGe2O7 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.12 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.83 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Ba2+ and one Ge4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa3Ge tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms.
