- Niobium monoxideNiobium monoxide-Niobium monoxide:Niobium monoxide, is the chemical compound with the formula NbO. It is a grey solid with metallic conductivity. It has an unusual cubic crystal structure, related to the rock salt structure, where both niobium and oxygen atoms are four coordinate square planar...
(niobium(II) oxide), NbO - Niobium dioxideNiobium dioxideNiobium dioxide, is the chemical compound with the formula NbO2. It is a bluish black non-stoichiometric solid with a composition range of NbO1.94-NbO2.09 It can be prepared by reacting Nb2O5 with H2 at 800-1350 °C...
(niobium(IV) oxide), NbO2 - Niobium pentoxideNiobium pentoxideNiobium pentoxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Nb2O5. It is a colourless insoluble solid that is fairly unreactive. It is the main precursor to all materials made of niobium, the dominant application being alloys, but other specialized applications include capacitors, lithium niobate,...
