BaBiO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to twelve equivalent O atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight BiO6 octahedra. All Ba–O bond lengths are 3.13 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent BiO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Bi–O bond lengths are 2.17 Å. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent BiO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Bi–O bond lengths are 2.25 Å. O is bonded to four equivalent Ba and two Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OBa4Bi2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–60°.
