The structure described by Ba5(VO4)3Cl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. There are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(3) atoms. In the second Ba site, Ba(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), four equivalent O(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(2), two equivalent Ba(1), and one V(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ba(2), two equivalent Ba(1), and one V(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba(1), two equivalent Ba(2), and one V(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ba(2) atoms to form face-sharing ClBa6 octahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
