Lithium molybdates

By varying the experimental conditions, Ephraim and Brand have prepared six different molybdates by the interaction of lithium carbonate and molybdic acid: Li₂O,MoO₃; 2Li₂O,3MoO₃; Li₂0,2MoO₃,5H₂O; 3Li₂O,7MoO₃,28H₂O; Li₂O,3MoO₃,7H₂O; and Li₂O,4MoO₃,7H₂O. They failed to obtain a salt with a higher proportion of MoO₃.

Ephraim and Brand have also described a number of phosphomolybdates of lithium.
