A 60-year-old problem with the atomic arrangements and exact compositions of alkali polytungstates related to hexagonal tungsten bronze (HTB) was solved. The systems WO-WO ( = K, Rb) were restudied and the average monoclinic layered structures of stoichiometric polytungstates WO ( = K, Rb, Cs, Tl) and WO ( = K, Rb, Cs) were first successfully determined. The structures resemble those of "MoWO" and "MoWO" (J.

A new triple tungstate RbAgSc(WO) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) synthesized by solid state reactions and spontaneous crystallization from melts presents a new structure type related to those of CsNaYb(MoO) and NaSrTa(PO). The title compound in centrosymmetric space group Cmcm contains dimers of two ScO octahedra sharing corners with three bridging WO tetrahedra.

The search for materials with high sodium diffusion is important for the development of solid state electrolytes. We present the results of experimental and ab initio studies of the Na-ion diffusion mechanism in Na9Sc(MoO4)6.

In CsLiZn(WO), this position is fully statistically occupied by (ZnLi), and in RbLiGa(MoO), the 2Li + Ga atoms are completely ordered in two distinct sites of the space group I-42d (Z = 4). In the same way, the crystallographically equivalent A cations (A = Cs, Rb) in CsZn(MoO), CsLiZn(WO) and isostructural ALiZn(MoO) and CsLiCo(MoO) are divided into two sites in RbLiGa(MoO), as in other isostructural ALiR(MoO) compounds (AR = TlAl, RbAl, CsAl, CsGa, CsFe).

The basic structure units are polyhedral clusters composed of an ScO6 octahedron and three NaO6 octahedra sharing total edges. The clusters are connected by sharing vertices with bridging MoO4 tetrahedra, forming a three-dimensional framework where the cavities are occupied by the other two crystallographically independent Na atoms.
