The phase formation of Nd{sub 5}Mo{sub 3–x}W{sub x}O{sub 16.5}, Nd{sub 5}Mo{sub 3–x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 16.5–х/2}, and Nd{sub 5}Mo{sub 3–x}V{sub x}O{sub 16.5–х/2} solid solutions based on a fluorite-like Nd{sub 5}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 16.5} compound (mixed conductor with interstitial oxygen conductivity) has been studied. The electrical conductivity of doped compounds obeys the Arrhenius law and, at a low impurity content, is as high as 0.03–0.08 S/cm at 800°C. Substitution of Mo{sup 6+} cations by V{sup 5+} and Nb{sup 5+} cations reduces the interstitial oxygen content, which causes a decrease in the solid-solution electrical conductivity by 1–2 orders of magnitude and a decrease in the cubic unit-cell parameter. A wide diffuse anomaly with a maximum of about 1500–4000 has been observed in the temperature dependence of the permittivity for all single-crystal and polycrystalline samples in the range of 300–900°C.
