Abstract: | Coexistence Relations, Preparation and Properties of Ternary Compounds in the System Cu/Mo/O The phase diagram of the ternary system Cu/Mo/O is presented at 773 K. The compounds CuMoO4, Cu3Mo2O9, Cu4Mo5O17, Cu6Mo5O18, Cu4–xMo3O12, and CuxMoO3 are found to be thermodynamical stable. The homogeneity range of Cu4–xMo3O12 runs to x = 0.1–0.2. Single crystals of CuMoO4 and Cu3Mo2O9 were grown by chemical transport reactions with TeCl4, Cl2, HCl, and Br2 as transport agent. The results were compared with thermochemical calculations. The decomposition of CuMoO4 and Cu3Mo2O9 was investigated with thermal analysis and decompositon pressure measurements. |
