The crystal structure described by Gd3WBO9 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3), three equivalent O(1), and three equivalent O(2) atoms. W(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to three equivalent O(2) and three equivalent O(3) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Gd(1) and one B(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Gd(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OGd3W tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Gd(1) and one W(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
