Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>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.</p> </abstract>
