Materials Data on B2Pb6WO12 by Materials Project
WB2Pb6O12 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. W6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form WO4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent PbO5 square pyramids. There is two shorter (1.82 Å) and two longer (1.83 Å) W–O bond length. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.39 Å) and one longer (1.41 Å) B–O bond length. There are two inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–3.01 Å. In the second Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted PbO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent PbO5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent WO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PbO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.98 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to four Pb2+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B3+ and three Pb2+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one W6+ and three Pb2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one W6+ and two equivalent Pb2+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B3+ and two equivalent Pb2+ atoms.
