Interactions of rare-earth molybdates(V) of composition LnMoO(4) (Ln = La, Nd, Gd, Dy, Er) with sulfur

The interaction of rare-earth molybdates of composition LnMoO(4) (Ln = La, Nd, Gd, Dy, Er) with sulfur is studied. Gadolinium molybdate yields a single-phase product. Its unit cell parameters were calculated from indexing of its X-ray diffraction pattern. The thermal stability of the interaction products of LnMoO(4) with sulfur is studied.
