Materials Data on Na(WO3)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na(WO3)3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form NaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight WO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.74 Å) and six longer (2.75 Å) Na–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent W+5.67+ sites. In the first W+5.67+ site, W+5.67+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent WO6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°. All W–O bond lengths are 1.95 Å. In the second W+5.67+ site, W+5.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six WO6 octahedra and faces with three equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.96 Å) W–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Na1+ and two W+5.67+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and two equivalent W+5.67+ atoms.
