AgY(WO4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Y(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form YO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 31-58°. W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted WO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Y(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 31-58°. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Y(1) and one W(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Y(1), one W(1), and one Ag(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Ag(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Y(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms.
