[Ba:Na:W = 4:4:1, Ni-cylinder, 725°C, 35 d]. Single crystal data [432 of 505 I₀ (hkl), Four-circle-diffractometer Siemens AED2, MoKα , R = 6.1%, R_w = 5,6%] verify the space group P mmm with a = 579.16(8), b = 580.85(8), c = 859.4(1) pm, Z = 1. The structure is based upon the CaTiO₃-type of structure. Ba²⁺ take the place of Ca²⁺ meanwhile Ti⁴⁺ is substituted alternately by W⁶⁺ and Na⁺. Complete occupation of all lattice positions would lead to a deficite of positive charge. This is compensate by deficiencies in the oxygen part of the lattice.
