Materials Data on BiWO4 by Materials Project
WBiO4 is Zircon-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. W5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All W–O bond lengths are 1.90 Å. Bi3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.41 Å) and four longer (2.53 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W5+ and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms.
