Abstract

Ba3SrCo(CuO4)3 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba is bonded to twelve O atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and faces with six CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.80–2.88 Å. In the second Ba site, Ba is bonded to twelve O atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and faces with six CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.91 Å. Sr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and faces with six CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.80 Å. Co is bonded to six O atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.99 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded to six O atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six CuO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–5°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.01 Å. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded to six O atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with four CuO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.07 Å. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to three Ba, one Sr, and two equivalent Cu atoms to form distorted OBa3SrCu2 octahedra that share corners with ten OBa3SrCu2 octahedra, edges with four equivalent OBa3SrCu2 octahedra, and faces with eight OBa2Sr2Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–60°. In the second O site, O is bonded to three Ba, one Sr, and two equivalent Cu atoms to form distorted OBa3SrCu2 octahedra that share corners with eighteen OBa3SrCu2 octahedra, edges with two equivalent OBa3SrCu2 octahedra, and faces with six OBa2Sr2Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–63°. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three Ba, one Sr, and two equivalent Co atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded to two equivalent Ba, two equivalent Sr, and two Cu atoms to form distorted OBa2Sr2Cu2 octahedra that share corners with twelve OBa3SrCu2 octahedra, edges with two equivalent OBa2Sr2Cu2 octahedra, and faces with seven OBa3SrCu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–60°. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ba, two equivalent Sr, one Co, and one Cu atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded to four Ba and two Cu atoms to form distorted OBa4Cu2 octahedra that share corners with sixteen OBa3SrCu2 octahedra, edges with four OBa4Cu2 octahedra, and faces with seven OBa3SrCu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–61°.
