Single crystal conductivities have been measured for K0. 40WO3 and Rbo. szWOs in the range 150 to 370 K. Carrier mobilities, which are somewhat higher than in the Li and Na tungsten bronzes, closely follow a T sinh2 (0/2 T) dependence. Calculations on the basis of the theory of Howarth and Sondheimer strongly support the assumption that the thermal part of the carrier mobility in the tungsten bronzes is primarily determined by polar scattering from optical mode latticevibrations. Magnetic susceptibilities also have been measured at room temperature for RbcueWOs and K0. 23-0.45 WO3. Results are as predicted by the Pauli-Peierls theory for quasi-free electrons.The tungsten bronzes, M^ WOa (0< x< 1), which have metallic properties2 over a wide range of compo-sition, hold considerable promise as model systems for examining theories of metallic binding. In particular, the course of a density-of-states function characteristic of a conducting d-band seems directly accessible experi-mentally as a function of varying electronconcentra-tion. However, except for the cubic sodium and lithium tungsten bronzes, for which considerable data exist3 on structure, conductivity, magnetic suscepti-bility, thermal emf, and Hall voltage, observations on the other alkali tungsten bronzes are fragmentary, qualitative, and occasionally contradictory. In anticipation of shortly having band calculations for the tung-sten bronzes, we have undertaken this investigation of potassium and of rubidium tungsten bronzes to provide parameters for typical non-cubic bronzes. Potassium tungsten bronzes first were prepared by Laurent4 by reductionof K2WO4-WO3 mixtures with hydrogen. Subsequent preparation methods included reduction of K2WO4-WO3 with tin, 5 electrolysis of fused K2WO4, 6 reduction of K2WO4-WO3 with W02, 7 and reduction of K2WO4-WO3 with elemental tung-sten. 8 Schaefer9 was first to prepare a defined rubidium tungsten bronze by reduction ofRb2COs-H2WO4 mix-tures with methane and hydrogen. The potassium bronzes, KVWO3, have been found to be tetragonal in the range8· 10 0.40< x< 0.57, with a= 12.285 Á. and
