Materials Data on H5W by Materials Project
WH5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pma2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one WH5 sheet oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. W3+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to ten H+0.60- atoms. There are a spread of W–H bond distances ranging from 1.76–2.05 Å. There are three inequivalent H+0.60- sites. In the first H+0.60- site, H+0.60- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent W3+ atoms. In the second H+0.60- site, H+0.60- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent W3+ atoms. In the third H+0.60- site, H+0.60- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W3+ atoms.
