Abstract

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) was reduced by hydrogen at temperatures between 300° and 450°C. The weight lost during each reduction experiment was followed using an automatic recording balance. X-ray diffraction analysis of the reduction product and the weight-loss data confirm the formation of a suboxide of molybdenum having a composition between Mo2O and MoO.
