Tungsten trioxide (WO₃) is the most widely used tungsten oxide today. Perfect tungsten oxides are ReO₃-type cubic crystal structure materials in which octahedral WO₆ are interconnected by parting the angles. In the WO₆ octahedron, the W atom is located in the center and the remaining six O atoms form the octahedral framework. With changes in temperature and pressure, the WO₆ octahedra tilt and rotate at certain angles, leading to the formation of several different phases: tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, and cubic phases.
