ChemInform Abstract: A Mechanistic Investigation on the Formation of Molybdophosphate Complexes in Aqueous Solution by the Use of Laser Raman Spectroscopy.

Abstract

AbstractTwo distinct reaction rates are observed for the formation of (PMo12O40)3‐ (I) depending on the formation procedure: mixing an acidic molybdate solution with an acidic phosphate solution exhibits a very slow reaction rate (formation of (I) is completed after ∼ 10 min), whereas acidification of the mixed molybdate‐phosphate solution rapidly produces 80% of (I) (30 s).
