The hexagonal tungsten bronze RbNbW2O9is shown, by variable-temperature powder neutron diffraction and symmetry-mode analysis, to display a significantly different phase transition sequence compared to the related CsNbW2O9composition. At ambient temperature, RbNbW2O9adopts the polar orthorhombic space groupCmc21. Upon heating, the thermal evolution of the crystal structure proceedsviatwo transitions. These correspond to sequential loss of two distinct octahedral tilting modes, leading to space groupP63mcat around 655K, and space groupP6mmnear 700 K. The polar distortion is retained up to the highest temperature studied here. The differences in structural behaviour between the proper ferroelectric RbNbW2O9and the improper ferroelectric CsNbW2O9emphasises the need for careful crystallographic analyses of materials of this type.
