AlWO4 is beta Vanadium nitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) 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 41-51°. Al(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and four equivalent O(3) 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 41-51°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Al(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Al(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
