PaTaO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Pa(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form PaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pa(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pa(1)O12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Pa(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Pa(1) and two equivalent Ta(1) atoms.
