Abstract

![CDATA[Tungstates are compounds containing negatively charged oxytungstate ions. In the mineral kingdom, the simple tetraoxotungstate(VI), or tungstate ion, WO42−, is present. As with the case of molybdate(VI), tungstate ions can polymerize under acid conditions to produce polytungstate and heteropolytungstate species, but minerals containing such complex anions are exceedingly rare and remain poorly understood and characterized. Only a few minerals containing essential tungstate are known, though some of these have great commercial significance.]]
