✦ Synopsis

Potassium and cesium intergrowth tungsten bronzes A x Mo y W 1؊y O 3 with x:0.25 and y:0.65 have been prepared. By substitution of molybdenum for tungsten the synthesis temperature can be decreased to 6003C and new phases of the structure family prepared. The ITB members designated (1, 3) and (1, 1, 3) have been prepared in relatively phase-pure form, while individual crystals of (1, 2) and (1, 1, 2) have been identi5ed by electron microscopy. These four phases have not been found previously in the ITB bronze systems.
