Materials Data on Na4W4O15 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na4W4O15 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.82 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded to six O atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent WO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–62°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.68 Å. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.28 Å. In the second W site, W is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted WO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent NaO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–62°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.15 Å. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Na atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two Na and one W atom. In the third O site, O is bonded to three Na and one W atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONa3W trigonal pyramids. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Na and two W atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three W atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded to two equivalent Na and two W atoms to form distorted ONa2W2 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one ONa3W trigonal pyramid and edges with two ONa2W2 trigonal pyramids. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na and two W atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two Na and one W atom.
