Vanadium oxide

Vanadium oxide mainly refers to: * Vanadium(II) oxide (vanadium monoxide), VO * Vanadium(III) oxide (vanadium sesquioxide or trioxide), V 2 O 3 * Vanadium(IV) oxide (vanadium dioxide), VO 2 * Vanadium(V) oxide (vanadium pentoxide), V 2 O 5 Various other distinct phases include: * Phases with the general formula V n O 2n+1 exist between V 2 O 5 and VO 2 . Examples of these phases include V 3 O 7 , V 4 O 9 and V 6 O 13 . * Phases with the general formula V n O 2n−1 exist between VO 2 and V 2 O 3 . Called Magnéli phases for Arne Magnéli, they are examples of crystallographic shear compounds based on the rutile structure. Examples of Magnéli phases include V 4 O 7 , V 5 O 9 , V 6 O 11 , V 7 O 13 and V 8 O 15 . * V 3 O 5 appears as the mineral oxyvanite. Many vanadium-oxygen phases are non-stoichiometric.
