BiO2 is Hydrophilite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Bi(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing BiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Bi(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are two shorter (2.23 Å) and four longer (2.25 Å) Bi(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
