BaMgF4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent F(3), four equivalent F(2), and six equivalent F(1) atoms. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form corner-sharing MgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-7°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one Mg(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Mg(1) atoms. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
BaMgF4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent F(3), four equivalent F(2), and six equivalent F(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.20 Å) Ba(1)-F(3) bond length. All Ba(1)-F(2) bond lengths are 3.24 Å. There are four shorter (2.65 Å) and two longer (2.79 Å) Ba(1)-F(1) bond lengths. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form corner-sharing MgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-7°. Both Mg(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 1.93 Å. Both Mg(1)-F(2) bond lengths are 1.94 Å. Both Mg(1)-F(3) bond lengths are 2.08 Å. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one Mg(1) atom.
