Abstract

A new polymorph of Al2(WO4)3 is observed from in situ high pressure powder X-ray diffraction (ADXRD) measurements at 3.4 GPa. The ADXRD pattern at 3.4 GPa could be explained based on a monoclinic lattice (space group P21) with unit cell parameters: a=9.5884(24), b=12.5204(38), c=7.8463(33) Å, and β=91.98(2)°.
