Abstract

Bulk structural properties of single phase crystalline (Mo 0.91V 0.09) 5O 14 and (Mo 0.68V 0.23W 0.09) 5O 14 materials were investigated using in situ X-ray diffraction and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy at three metal edges. Temperature programmed experiments in reducing (propene) and oxidizing (oxygen) atmosphere and isothermal redox experiments at 773 K revealed differences in the bulk properties of the two phases studied. A structure stabilizing effect of tungsten in (MoVW) 5O 14 under oxidizing conditions was found. Moreover, tungsten centers in a (MoVW) dioxide material exert a structure-directing effect towards re-oxidation to a Mo 5O 14-type structure.
