description: BaLaTiCuO6 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with five LaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with seven BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CuO6 octahedra, and faces with six TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.90 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share a cornercorner with one LaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.89 Å. There are three inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with five BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with seven LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and faces with six CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.81 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share a cornercorner with one BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.81 Å. In the third La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share a cornercorner with one BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.81 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six TiO6 octahedra and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.01 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO6 octahedra, corners with four TiO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–5°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.00 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu3+ sites. In the first Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six CuO6 octahedra and faces with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There is four shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) Cu–O bond length. In the second Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with four CuO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–8°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.00 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three Ba2+, one La3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, three La3+, and two equivalent Cu3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four La3+ and two equivalent Cu3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–3°. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent La3+, one Ti4+, and one Cu3+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two Cu3+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Cu3+ atoms.
