BaAg5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ag(1) and twelve equivalent Ag(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and six equivalent Ag(2) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1), four equivalent Ag(1), and four equivalent Ag(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing AgBa4Ag8 cuboctahedra.
