YW3O8 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Y(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted YO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(2)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-63°. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, 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 W(2)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Y(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-52°. In the second W site, W(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Y(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent W(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-63°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Y(1), one W(1), and one W(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1) and two equivalent W(2) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Y(1), one W(1), and one W(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Y(1) and two equivalent W(2) atoms.
