Dependence of molybdophosphate composition on synthesis conditions

Effect of alcohols, immiscible with water (n-butanol, n-heptanol and n-octanol) used as extractants during molybdophosphate (MP) synthesis and analysis on the composition of products is studied. It is stressed that molybdenum limiting share in MP in the organic extract under similar initial aqueous phase composition is reduced in the n-butanol-n-heptanol-n-octanol series. The formed solvate composition depends on the solvent and ligand relative donor ability
