Thermal expansion of the brannerite-type phases has been studied with the high temperature X-ray diffraction between room-temperature and the decomposition temperatures of 535-660C. The studies involved the MnLi = Mn{sub 1{minus}y}Li{sub y}V{sub 2{minus}y}Mo{sub y}O{sub 6} (0{le}y{le}1) solid solutions, including the lateral compounds MnV{sub 2}O{sub 6} and LiVMoO{sub 6} and the MnLi{phi} = Mn{sub 1{minus}x{minus}y}{phi}{sub x}Li{sub y}V{sub 2{minus}2x{minus}y}Mo{sub 2x+y}O{sub 6} (x{sub max} between 0.16 and 0.45) solid solutions in which Mo{sup 6+} ions are substituted randomly for V{sup 5+} and similarly Li{sup 1+} and cation vacancies {phi} for Mn{sup 2+}. The results were processes with a number of computer programs and the coefficients of linear thermal expansion d{sub 11} > d{sub 33} {ge} d{sub 22} along the main orthogonal X, Y, Z axes have been determined. Y coincides with the crystallographic (010) axis, X lies in the (010) plane and makes an angle {alpha}{sub x} with the crystallographic (100) of 54-82C, depending on the temperature and composition. The values of d{sub ii} are between 0.2 {times} 10{sup {minus}5} and 7.5 {times} 10{sup {minus}5}.
