Y(WO2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second W site, W(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1), one W(1), and one W(2) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY2W2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1), one W(1), and one W(2) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY2W2 tetrahedra.
Y(WO2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.34 Å) and two longer (2.52 Å) Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.46 Å) Y(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Both W(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.06 Å. Both W(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.07 Å. In the second W site, W(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Both W(2)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.17 Å. Both W(2)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.18 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1), one W(1), and one W(2) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY2W2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1), one W(1), and one W(2) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY2W2 tetrahedra.
