title: Materials Data on BaPtO3 by Materials Project

description: BaPtO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight PtO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.25 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with six PtO6 octahedra, faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six PtO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 9–12°. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.29 Å. In the third Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight PtO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.82 Å) and six longer (2.94 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. In the fourth Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent PtO6 octahedra, faces with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven PtO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.39 Å. There are four inequivalent Pt4+ sites. In the first Pt4+ site, Pt4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form PtO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent PtO6 octahedra, faces with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one PtO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 14°. There are three shorter (2.05 Å) and three longer (2.06 Å) Pt–O bond lengths. In the second Pt4+ site, Pt4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form PtO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PtO6 octahedra and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. All Pt–O bond lengths are 2.07 Å. In the third Pt4+ site, Pt4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted PtO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent PtO6 octahedra, faces with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one PtO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. There are three shorter (2.04 Å) and three longer (2.08 Å) Pt–O bond lengths. In the fourth Pt4+ site, Pt4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form PtO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent PtO6 octahedra, faces with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one PtO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 14°. There are three shorter (2.05 Å) and three longer (2.08 Å) Pt–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Pt4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two Pt4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two Pt4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two Pt4+ atoms.
