Materials Data on Ba2CuSeO2 by Materials Project
Ba2CuSeO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Se2- and four equivalent O2- atoms. All Ba–Se bond lengths are 3.44 Å. All Ba–O bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 2.03 Å. Se2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ba2+ atoms. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OBa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
