Other compounds with this structure
CoWO$_{4}$, FeWO$_{4}$ (ferberite), MnWO$_{4}$ (h\`{u}bernite), NiWO$_{4}$, ZnWO$_{4}$
- Most authors refer to this as the wolframite structure, but that name properly belongs to the solid solution (Mn,Fe)WO$_{4}$. (Herman, 1937) chose this
magnesium wolframite
compound to represent the $H0_{6}$ structures.
