Tungsten pentoxide

Blue solid oxide of tungsten formed by reaction of tungsten trioxide and tungsten metal

Tungsten pentoxide (W2O5) was reported in early literature but proved to have the stoichiometry W18O49.[1] Sometimes called mineral blue, it is a blue solid formed by the reaction of tungsten trioxide, WO3, and tungsten metal at 700 °C.[1]

Intermediate oxides of tungsten

There are a number of these unusual intermediate oxides formed from reacting metal and trioxide namely, W20O58, W24O70.[1] W18O49 contains both octahedral and pentagonal bipyramidal co-ordination of the metal atoms by oxygen.[1]
