Abstract
Pair distribution function analysis of in situ total scattering data recorded during formation of WO3 nanocrystals under hydrothermal conditions reveal that a complex precursor structure exists in solution. The WO6 polyhedra of the precursor cluster undergo reorientation before forming the nanocrystal. This reorientation is the critical element in the formation of different hexagonal polymporphs of WO3.Entities:
