Materials Data on PWO2 by Materials Project
WPO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two WPO2 frameworks. W6+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All W–O bond lengths are 2.19 Å. P2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both P–O bond lengths are 1.83 Å. O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W6+ and one P2- atom.
