N2 - The structure of Ba3W2O9 has been determined from powder x-ray diffraction data and found to be the same as in Cs3Tl2Cl9. Two-thirds of the octahedral sites between hexagonal closest-packed BaO3 layers (ABAB...) are filled by the tungsten atoms. The enneaoxo W2O9
6- group represents the first crystal chemistry example of tungsten (VI) in a face-sharing arrangement. Infrared and Raman data are consistent with overall 32 (D3) site symmetry. Crystallographic and spectroscopic evidence supports a covalent bonding model with oxygen pπ → metal dπ stabilization of this tungsten (VI) phase.
