Materials Data on BaPuO3 by Materials Project
BaPuO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.29 Å. Pu4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–22°. All Pu–O bond lengths are 2.23 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Pu4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Pu4+ atoms.
