BaPb3(NO3)8 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to six equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(4) atoms. Pb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(4), four equivalent O(1), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb(1) and one N(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(1), one Pb(1), and one N(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb(1) and one N(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ba(1), one Pb(1), and one N(1) atom.
