BaPbF6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent F(1) atoms to form BaF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pb(1)F6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Ba(1)F12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent Pb(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. Pb(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form PbF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ba(1)F12 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent Ba(1)F12 cuboctahedra. F(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Pb(1) atom.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There are six shorter (2.80 Å) and six longer (2.95 Å) Ba(1)-F(1) bond lengths. Pb(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form PbF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ba(1)F12 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent Ba(1)F12 cuboctahedra. All Pb(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.08 Å. F(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Pb(1) atom.
