BeO2 is quartz (alpha)-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. Be(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing BeO4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Be(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Be(1) atoms.
