Materials Data on Ba2Cd3Bi4 by Materials Project
Ba2Cd3Bi4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd and eight Bi atoms. Both Ba–Cd bond lengths are 3.75 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.71–3.85 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba and five Bi atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.41 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Bi atoms. There are four shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.33 Å) Cd–Bi bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and five Cd atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and three Cd atoms.
