Elastic and inelastic neutron studies of hydrogen molybdenum bronzes

Hydrogen molybdenum bronzes H x MoO 3 (∼0.3 < x < 2.0) have been investigated with elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Neutron diffraction studies of orthorhombic D 0.36MoO 3 show that deuterium is incorporated as -OD without any major structural change to the MoO 3 layer lattice. The in...

Summary:Hydrogen molybdenum bronzes H x MoO 3 (∼0.3 < x < 2.0) have been investigated with elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Neutron diffraction studies of orthorhombic D 0.36MoO 3 show that deuterium is incorporated as -OD without any major structural change to the MoO 3 layer lattice. The inelastic neutron scattering spectra of H x MoO 3 phases confirm that, for H 0.34MoO 3, H is present as -OH, but, for the monoclinic phases H 0.93MoO 3, H 1.68MoO 3 and H 2.0MoO 3, only peaks associated with -OH 2 groups are found.
