Ag2BiO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnna space group. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing BiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 33°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), one Ag(2), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OAg2Bi2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ag(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
Ag2BiO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnna space group. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. The Ag(1)-O(2) bond length is 2.25 Å. Both Ag(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.31 Å. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Ag(2)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.14 Å. Bi(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing BiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 33°. Both Bi(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.23 Å. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Bi(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), one Ag(2), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OAg2Bi2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ag(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
