Materials Data on WBr4O by Materials Project
WOBr4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two WOBr4 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. W6+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing WBr4O2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There is one shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (1.95 Å) W–O bond length. All W–Br bond lengths are 2.50 Å. O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent W6+ atoms. Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W6+ atom.
