Materials Data on Ni(WO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ni(WO4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Ni(WO4)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. W6+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–2.42 Å. Ni4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.89 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one W6+ and one Ni4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W6+ and one Ni4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent W6+ and one Ni4+ atom.
