Materials Data on Na(WO3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na(WO3)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form NaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent WO6 octahedra. There are eight shorter (2.64 Å) and four longer (2.94 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form NaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent NaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent WO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.58 Å) and eight longer (2.82 Å) Na–O bond lengths. W+5.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent WO6 octahedra and faces with four NaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–11°. All W–O bond lengths are 1.96 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and two equivalent W+5.50+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and two equivalent W+5.50+ atoms.
