Metavanadate is a polymeric oxyanion of vanadium (V). Often written as its empirical formula VO−3, it actually consists of a linear chain of tetrahedral [VO4]− units, each sharing two corners.[1]
Metavanadate predominates in weakly alkaline solutions of vanadium (V), and can be generated by dissolving vanadium pentoxide in the presence of alkali:
- V2O5 + 2 OH− → 2 VO−3 + H2O
In a similar process to the dissolution of metasilicate, an excess of alkali will break the V−O−V bonds, eventually yielding orthovanadate.[2]
- VO−3 + 2 OH− → VO3−4 + H2O
Notable salts include sodium metavanadate and ammonium metavanadate.
