Different possible tilting modes in the successive slabs of the structure. Arrows are symbolic representations of the WO6 octahedral tilting (see Figs. 8 and 9). (a) P212121-type: the tilting direction remains the same from one slab to the next. (b) Local defect as the (001) mirror involving the change of tilting direction keeping the pentagonal tunnel shape. (c) P21cn-type: the tilting-sense is reversed from one slab to the next. (d) Local defect as found in MPTBh members leading to hexagonal-shaped tunnels. |
