Highlights: • Scheelite structure CdW{sub 1-x}Mo{sub x}O{sub 4} solid-solution was prepared for the first time. • Lattice expanded while band gap narrowed with the substitution of W{sup 6+} by Mo{sup 6+}. • Luminescent and dielectric properties of the solid solution varied with composition. - Abstract: Rational design and construction of metastable structured materials is more and more attractive toward realizing novel functional devices. In this work, the synthesis of metastable scheelite-type CdW{sub 1-x}Mo{sub x}O{sub 4} solid solution in the entire compositional range (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) was achieved for the first time. XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies confirmed that all the solvothermal prepared samples were pure tetragonal scheelite structure without wolframite phase. Structural refinement data revealed a lattice expansion with the substitution of W{sup 6+} by Mo{sup 6+} ions. UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra indicated that band gap energy of the solid solutions reduced with the replacement of W{sup 6+} by Mo{sup 6+} ions. Moreover, SEM analyses found that morphologies of the solid solution changed with the compositions. Meanwhile, the influences of chemical composition on the photoluminescent and electrical properties of the scheelite-type CdW{sub 1-x}Mo{sub x}O{sub 4} solid solution were also investigated. The reported synthetic strategy may applied to other metastable structures while the results reported will help to understand the structure and structure-property relations of scheelite-type ABO{sub 4} compounds.
