Materials Data on BaCuO3 by Materials Project
BaCuO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to twelve equivalent O atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent CuO6 octahedra. All Ba–O bond lengths are 2.83 Å. Cu is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CuO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Cu–O bond lengths are 2.00 Å. O is bonded to four equivalent Ba and two equivalent Cu atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing OBa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–60°.
