The characteristic features of the gas-phase modification of silica by molybdenum pentachloride vapors were investigated. The grafted molybdenum chloride groups {triple_bond}SiOMoCl{sub 4} formed as a result of the reaction of MoCl{sub 5} with the silanol groups and siloxane bridges of the SiO{sub 2} surface undergo a rearrangement as a result of their instability, forming chlorosilyl groups and molybdenum oxychloride, which is removed from the silica surface. In the presence of an excess of the modifier MoCl{sub 5}, the reaction with siloxane bridges of the surface layer leads to the formation of silicon tetrachloride and is accompanied by etching of the surface of the dispersed silica globules.
