The crystal structure of WOCl{sub 3}, determined on the basis of powder diffraction data (tetragonal, P4{sub 2}/mnm, a=10.6856(6), c=3.8537(2)), is isotypic to WOI{sub 3} and contains one-dimensional strands of edge-sharing double-octahedral W{sub 2}O{sub 4/2}Cl{sub 6} groups connected via common corners in trans position. A W-W bond of 2.99A is present within the planar W{sub 2}Cl{sub 6} groups. A series of non-stochiometric, mixed valence W(IV,V) compounds M{sub 1-x}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}] can be obtained from WOCl{sub 3} by reaction with metal halides (TlCl, KCl, PbCl{sub 2}) or by reaction of elemental Hg with WOCl{sub 4}. All were characterized by single crystal structure determinations and EDX measurements (Tl{sub 0.981(2)}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}]: monoclinic, C2/m, a=12.7050(4), b=3.7797(1), c=10.5651(3)A, {beta}=107.656(1){sup o}; K{sub 0.84(2)}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}]: monoclinic, C2/m, a=12.812(3), b=3.7779(6), c=10.196(3)A, {beta}=107.422(8){sup o}; Pb{sub 0.549(3)}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}]: orthorhombic, Immm,a=3.7659(1), b=9.8975(4), c=12.1332(6)A; Hg{sub 0.554(6)}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}]: monoclinic, C2/m, a=12.8361(8), b=3.7622(3), c=10.2581(9)A, {beta}=113.645(3){sup o}). Two representatives of this family of compounds have already been reported: Na[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Br{sub 6}] [Y.-Q. Zhang, K. Peters, H.G. von Schnering, Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 624 (1998) 1415-1418] and Ag{sub 0.74}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Br{sub 6}] [S. Imhaine, C. Perrin, M. Sergent, Mat. Res. Bull. 33 (1998) 927-933]. The Ag containing compound can be obtained from elemental Ag and WOBr{sub 3}. The crystal structure, originally reported in the triclinic system, was redetermined and shown to be monoclinic with space group C2/m (a=13.7338(10), b=3.7769(3), c=10.7954(9)A, {beta}=112.401(3){sup o}). The crystal structures of these compounds are in close relationship to the structure of WOCl{sub 3} and all contain W{sub 2}O{sub 4/2}X{sub 6} (X=Cl, Br) double strands with the mono and divalent cations coordinated by the terminal halogen atoms of the W{sub 2}X{sub 6} groups and a short W-W bond (2.85A for X=Cl). A cube-shaped coordination environment is present for M=Tl, K and a trigonal-prismatic coordination for M=Ag, Hg. Hg{sub 0.55}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}] is a semiconductor with a non-Arrhenius behaviour, high specific conductivity of 0.05{omega}{sup -1}cm{sup -1} and a very small activation energy of 0.03eV. Hg{sub 0.55}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Cl{sub 6}] and Ag{sub 0.8}[W{sub 2}O{sub 2}Br{sub 6}] show a temperature independent paramagnetism with a magnetic moment around 300x10{sup -6}cm{sup 3}mol{sup -1}.
