Aluminium molybdate is the chemical compound Al2(MoO4)3. It forms in certain hydrodesulfurization catalysts when alumina is doped with excess molybdenum. [2] When molybdates are used to inhibit corrosion in aluminum piping, the protective film formed is hydrated aluminum molybdate. [3] [4] Although small quantities of aluminum molybdate form during aluminothermic reduction of molybdia, mechanical activation inhibits their formation. [5]
Large-scale samples can be prepared via sol-gel synthesis, [6] and have been proposed for molybdenum-99 storage in nuclear medicine. [7]
The room temperature crystal structure was refined using time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction data. It is monoclinic and isostructural with Fe2(MoO4)3 and Cr2(MoO4)3. [1] At high temperatures, the crystal rearranges to β‑Al2(MoO4)3, isostructural with scandium tungstate. [8]
Aluminum molybdate has a very low thermal expansion coefficient near room temperature.
