Materials Data on WO5 by Materials Project

Abstract

WO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two water molecules and one WO4 sheet oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In the WO4 sheet, W is bonded to six O atoms to form corner-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.01 Å. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent W atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent W atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent W atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W atom.
