BaBiO2Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form OBa2Bi2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent O(1)Ba2Bi2 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent Cl(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent O(1)Ba2Bi2 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form ClBa4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cl(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, corners with sixteen equivalent O(1)Ba2Bi2 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cl(1)Ba4 tetrahedra.
BaBiO2Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Ba(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are two shorter (3.36 Å) and two longer (3.51 Å) Ba(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Bi(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.22 Å. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form OBa2Bi2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent O(1)Ba2Bi2 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent Cl(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent O(1)Ba2Bi2 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form ClBa4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cl(1)Ba4 tetrahedra, corners with sixteen equivalent O(1)Ba2Bi2 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cl(1)Ba4 tetrahedra.
