Molybdenum phosphate compositions

摘要

A class of new oxide structures containing octahedral molybdenum and tetrahedral phosphorous has been generated using hydrothermal techniques. These materials are produced by the reaction of a molybdenum oxide source with phosphate and any one, or combination of organic cation/alkali-metal cation/organic amine as a templating/mineralizing agent. A reducing agent is necessary to convert the Mo(VI) to a lower valent form and can be either added to the reaction mixture or is provided in the form of one of the reactants.
