Synthesis of new bimetallic transition metal oxynitrides V-Me-O-N (Me = Mo and W) by temperature-programmed reaction
- Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Univ., Blacksburg, VA (United States)
Transition metal carbides and nitrides have attracted attention as possible replacements for platinum group catalysts. Most of the work has been carried out with single-metal compounds. The authors report the preparation of two new bimetallic compounds, V-Mo and V-W oxynitrides, obtained by nitriding oxide precursors with ammonia gas via a temperature-programmed reaction. The bimetallic oxide precursors are prepared by conventional solid state reaction using commercial V, Mo, and W oxides. The oxynitrides thus obtained adopt a face-centered cubic crystal structure. They have high specific surface areas (74 and 62 m{sup 2} g{sup {minus}1}), and their pyrophoricity suggests high surface activity.
