Description It has been observed that as a function of a time delay introduced between the onset of the reduction of V2O5 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and the addition of phosphoric acid, in the aqueous route preparation of the catalytically important VOHPO4?0.5H2O phase, a series of NH3 incorporated phases are obtained. Up to delay times of 3 min the crystalline VOHPO4?0.5H2O phase is obtained whereas a weakly crystalline hemihydrate is formed at a delay time of 4 min. Longer delay times result in X-ray amorphous phases until at delay time of 10 min and above a new crystalline phase containing mixed-valent vanadium emerges. All the phases obtained with delay times of 4 min and above have NH3 incorporated into them. The weakly crystalline VOHPO4?0.5H2O phase as well as the X-ray amorphous phases undergo transformation to a crystalline vanadyl pyrophosphate phase on calcination at 723 K in spite of having NH3 incorporated into them. The in-situ generation of NH3 during the preparation procedure is a hitherto unreported aspect of VPO chemistry and provides a convenient method for the preparation of novel NH3 incorporated VPO phases which could have strong potential as catalysts for alkane oxidation as well as for ammoxidation reactions.
