Aluminium molybdate is the chemical compound Al2(MoO4)3. It forms in certain hydrodesulfurization catalysts when alumina is doped with excess molybdenum.[2] When molybdates are used to inhibit corrosion in aluminum piping, the protective film formed is hydrated aluminum molybdate.[3][4] Although small quantities of aluminum molybdate form during aluminothermic reduction of molybdia, mechanical activation inhibits their formation.[5]
Large-scale samples can be prepared via sol-gel synthesis,[6] and have been proposed for molybdenum-99 storage in nuclear medicine.[7]
The room temperature crystal structure was refined using time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction data. It is monoclinic and isostructural with Fe2(MoO4)3 and Cr2(MoO4)3.[1] At high temperatures, the crystal rearranges to β‑Al2(MoO4)3, isostructural with scandium tungstate.[8]
Aluminum molybdate has a very low thermal expansion coefficient near room temperature.
