Crystal data for α‐, β‐ and γ‐Ag2WO4 were collected from Cu Kα1 powder diagrams, α‐Ag2WO4 is orthorhombic (Pn2n) with a = 10.820(2), b = 12.018(2) and c = 5.900(1) Å. β‐Ag2WO4 is hexagonal (P63 or P63/m) with a = 11.0925(3) and c = 7.5424(4) Å. γ‐Ag2WO4 is cubic (Fd3m, spinel type) with a = 9.352(1) Å.
Some of the high-temperature phases of K2MoO4, K2WO4 and Rb2WO4 are shown to have modulated structures. The modulation wave vector k is rationally independent of the basic vectors of the unit cell. The diffraction patterns have symmetry 6/mmm. The k vector points in the direction of the a* axis; k= tea*. For K2MoO4 the value of x changes continuously from 0.297 at 360°C to 0.290 at 430°C. The values for K2WO4 and Rb2WO4 are 0-250 at 395 °C and 0.363 at 435°C respectively. A model for the modulation is proposed. In this model the modulation is assumed to be a periodic change in the orientations of the anion tetrahedra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
