'''Ammonium heptamolybdate''' is an odourless crystalline compound ranging in colour from white to yellow-green. It is usually encountered as the tetrahydrate, whose ] is (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>Mo<sub>7</sub>O<sub>24</sub>·4H<sub>2</sub>O. It is often referred to as '''ammonium paramolybdate''' or simply as '''ammonium molybdate''', although ammonium molybdate can also refer to ], (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub>, and several other species. '''Ammonium heptamolybdate''' is the ] whose ] is (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>Mo<sub>7</sub>O<sub>24</sub>, normally encountered as the tetrahydrate. A dihydrate is also known. It is a colorless solid, often referred to as '''ammonium paramolybdate''' or simply as '''ammonium molybdate''', although "ammonium molybdate" can also refer to ], (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub>, and several other compounds. It is one of the more common molybdenum compounds.<ref name=Ull/>


== Synthesis == == Synthesis ==
Ammonium heptamolybdate is easily prepared by dissolving molybdenum trioxide in an excess of aqueous ammonia and evaporating the solution at room temperature. While the solution evaporates, the excess of ammonia escapes. This method results in the formation of six-sided transparent prisms of the tetrahydrate of ammonium heptamolybdate.<ref>L. Svanberg & H. Struve, J. pr. Ch.
