description: BaGe(S2O7)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.12 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with six SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.93 Å. There are six inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.43–1.65 Å. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.43–1.65 Å. In the third S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra.
