“…The formation of amorphous KVO 3 clusters has been reported in K-ion-doped V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 [9,27]. The molecular structure of sodium metavanadate, NaVO 3 , consists of cornersharing tetrahedral VO 4 chains with two V-O distances, socalled metavanadate chains [28], and the Raman spectra of NH 4 VO 3 , NaVO 3 , KVO 3 , and RbVO 3 were almost same. It is noted that even in the case of Rb-3.5VA catalyst, a trace of peaks due to metavanadate chains was detected.…”
