Materials Data on MgWO3 by Materials Project
MgWO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.11 Å. There are two inequivalent W4+ sites. In the first W4+ site, W4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–47°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.15 Å. In the second W4+ site, W4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–47°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.15 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+ and two W4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+ and two W4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and two W4+ atoms.
