Materials Data on WO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

WO2 is Hydrophilite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent W4+ sites. In the first W4+ site, W4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.14 Å. In the second W4+ site, W4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.14 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three W4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three W4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent W4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent W4+ atoms.
