AlWO4 is beta Vanadium nitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-48°. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-48°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Al(1) atom.
