The electronic structure of the monophosphate tungsten bronze (WO{sub 3}){sub 4}(PO{sub 2}){sub 4} was examined by performing tight-binding band calculations. Our study suggests that the W{sub 2}O{sub 10} chains of (WO{sub 3}){sub 4}(PO{sub 2}){sub 4} have both localized and delocalized electrons, and the latter may cause an electronic instability such as a charge density wave.
