Abstract

The crystal structure of the hexagonal potassium tungsten bronze, K XWO 3, has been investigated by single crystal X-ray and powder neutron diffraction techniques. The space group is P6 322. The new structural feature found in this study is the puckering of the ring of 6 oxygen atoms forming the “windows” in the hexagonal tunnels. The potassium ions appear to be disordered over two sites in the tunnel, towards one of the two sets of window oxygen atoms.
