The crystal structures of Sr2MgWO6 and Ba2SrWO6 compounds, studied by powder X-ray diffraction, were found to be distorted perovskites with a complete NaCl type ordering between Mg2+/W6+ and Sr2+/W6+ ions, respectively. The unit cells are characterized by the tetragonal (space group I4/m; a0a0a−) symmetry, with the parameters a=5.5849(10) Å and c=7.9455(10) Å, for Sr2MgWO6 and triclinic (space group F-1; a−b−b−) symmetry, with the parameters a=8.5409(10) Å, b=c=8.5860(10) Å, α=89.35(1)° and β=γ=90.31(1)°, for Ba2SrWO6. © 2004 International Centre for Diffraction Data.
