Abstract The La2W2−xMoxO9 series has been synthesized by the ceramic method. An alternative synthesis using microwave radiation is also reported. La2W2O9 has two polymorphs and the low-temperature phase (α) transforms to the high-temperature form (β) at 1077°C. The influence of the W/Mo substitution in this phase transition has been investigated by DTA. The β structure for x≥0.7 compositions can be prepared as single phase at any cooling rate. The β phase for 0.3≤x≤0.7 compounds can be prepared as single phase by quenching, whereas a mixture of α and β phases is obtained by slow cooling. The W/Mo ratio in both coexisting phases is different with the β-phase having a higher Mo content. The x=0.1 and 0.2 compounds have been prepared as mixtures of phases. The room temperature structure of β-La2W1.7Mo0.3O9 has been analyzed by the Rietveld method in P213 space group. The final R-factors were RWP=9.0% and RF=5.6% with a structure similar to that of β-La2Mo2O9. Finally, the thermal expansion of both types of structures has been determined from a thermodiffractometric study. The thermal expansion coefficients were 2.9×10−6 and 9.7×10−6°C−1 for α-La2W2O9 and β-La2W1.2Mo0.8O9, respectively.
