Synthesis, properties, and structure of DyMoO4

A method for obtaining DyMoO 4 through the intermediate Dy 2 MOO 6 molybdate is proposed. The thermal stabilities of the DyMoO 4 and dysprosium oxochloromolybdate DyMoO 4 Cl in air have been studied. The individuality and purity of the compounds obtained are demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, crystal-optical and chemical analyses, and IR spectroscopy.
