A hexagonal 2a,c superstructure of Ba7F12Cl2.
Hydrothermal synthesis yielded crystals of heptabarium dodecafluoride dichloride, Ba7F12Cl2, displaying a new 2a,c hexagonal superstructure with P-6 symmetry. The superstructure results from the disorder of Ba2+ cations over two adjacent tricapped trigonal prismatic sites located in channels parallel to the c axis.
