In the present work lithium (sodium) vanadium tungsten oxides with brannerite structure is refined by the Rietveld method (space group C2/m, Z=2). IR and Raman spectroscopy was used to assign vibrational bands and determine structural particularities. The diffuse reflectance spectra allow to calculate bandgap for M{sup I}VWO{sub 6}(M{sup I} - Li, Na). The temperature dependences of heat capacity have been measured first in the range from 7 to 350 K for these compounds and then between 330 and 640 K, respectively, by precision adiabatic vacuum and dynamic calorimetry. The experimental data were used to calculate standard thermodynamic functions, namely the heat capacity C{sub p}{sup o}(T), enthalpy H{sup o}(T)-H{sup o}(0), entropy S{sup o}(T)-S{sup o}(0) and Gibbs function G{sup o}(T)-H{sup o}(0), for the range from T->0 to 640 K. The differential scanning calorimetry was applied to measure decomposition temperature of compounds under study. - Graphical abstract: Fragment of the structure of Li(Na)VWO{sub 6}.
