Materials Data on Ba10P6SO24 by Materials Project

Ba10P6SO24 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one S2- and seven O2- atoms. The Ba–S bond length is 3.21 Å. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.70–3.40 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.88 Å. In the third Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.69 Å) and three longer (2.74 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is three shorter (1.56 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. S2- is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Ba2+ atoms. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Ba2+ and one P5+ atom.
