Abstract
Sb-Mo-O oxide phases, namely Sb2MoO6 and a mixture of Sb2Mo10O31 and Sb4Mo10O31, are not at the origin of the cooperation between MoO3 and alpha-Sb2O4 in the selective oxidation of isobutene. Their initial selectivity to methacrolein is weak and they decompose spontaneously during the reaction to simple Mo and Sb oxides. The consequence of the decompositon is an improvement of the catalytic performances.
