We discuss these transformations and polarized Raman spectra on the basis of lattice dynamics calculation in the related system KNbW2O9. Polarized Raman spectra provide strong indication that the highest wavenumber modes observed in these systems originate from tungsten or oxygen vacancies. The observation of a soft-like mode indicates that the observed phase transitions exhibit a displacive-type behavior, thus further indicating that these transformations are likely related to reorientations of the octahedral units.
