BaCO3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom.
BaCO3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.70 Å) and two longer (2.87 Å) Ba(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Ba(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.79-2.89 Å. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. The C(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.30 Å. Both C(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.30 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom.
