SrCu2O2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Sr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Sr(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OSr3Cu2 trigonal bipyramids.
SrCu2O2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Sr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and four longer (2.73 Å) Sr(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.84 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Sr(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OSr3Cu2 trigonal bipyramids.
