Catalysis by polyoxometalates. Part 3.—Influence of vanadium(V) on the thermal stability of 12-metallophosphoric acids from in situ infrared studies

Abstract
The 12-molybdo(tungsto)phosphoric acids, and the related compounds 1-vanado-11-molybdo(tungsto)phosphoric acids, all having the Keggin structure, have been studied at different temperatures in a special infrared cell allowing experiments in a controlled atmosphere. The effects of dehydration and the thermal stability are discussed. The anhydrous acids are evidenced only for the two 12-molybdo- and 12-tungsto-phosphoric acids: for the vanado compounds, the results are in agreement with the release of vanadium from the host Keggin structure, when increasing the temperature and duration of the treatments in a dry atmosphere. The effect of exposure to water vapour after the thermal treatments is also discussed.
