Here we report on a novel compound Li₃AsW₇O₂₅ obtained by solid-state reaction and characterized by diffraction and spectroscopic methods. The bronze-type compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a=724.38(3) pm, b=1008.15(4) pm, c=4906.16(17) pm and Z=8. The structure is built up by chains of WO₆ octahedra interconnected by AsO₄ tetrahedra and WO₆ octahedra forming a polyhedral arrangement as seen in intergrowth tungsten bronzes. The X-ray single crystal structure refinement allows solving the complex arsenotungstate framework. The powder neutron diffraction data analysis locates the lithium atoms. Thermal analysis showed that Li₃AsW₇O₂₅ is stable up to its melting at 1135(3) K followed by a decomposition at 1182(5) K. Finally, the Kubelka-Munk treatment of the UV-vis spectrum revealed a wide band gap in the range of 2.84-3.40 eV depending on the presumed electron transition type.
