In the quest for materials of narrow band gap, oxynitrides are excellent candidates. Aiming at obtaining a polar materials of narrow gap, oxynitides are developed here having an hexagonal structure and anion ordering that leads to a non centrosymmetric structures. As such,  here BaWON2 is synthesized and we demonstrate its polar character and large photo absorptivity.
