Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of zinc dimolybdate pentahydrate ZnMo2O7·5H2O

Zinc dimolybdate ZnMo2O7·5H2O was synthesized and its crystal structure has been solved by X-ray powder diffraction methods. The IR and TGA/DTA studies were performed. A study of thermal decomposition in situ of ZnMo2O7·5H2O in air and nitrogen by X-ray diffraction was also performed.
