Ba10P6SO24 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3 space group. There are three inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one S(1), one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(3) atoms. In the second Ba site, Ba(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. In the third Ba site, Ba(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(4) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. S(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Ba(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(1), one Ba(2), one Ba(3), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(2), two equivalent Ba(1), and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(1), one Ba(2), one Ba(3), and one P(1) atom.
