A number of gaseous oxyacid salts have been identified by Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry by vaporizing Ga2O3 from molybdenum and tungsten cells. The stability of gaseous molecules Ga2MoO 4, Ga2WO4, Ga2Mo2O7, and Ga2W2O7 was deduced from the measurements. The structures and molecular parameters of all salts investigated were obtained using quantum chemical calculations. On the basis of equilibrium constants measured for gas-phase reactions, the standard formation enthalpies were determined to be-827 ± 26,-843 ± 26,-1578 ± 32, and-1525 ± 34 kJ · mol-1 for Ga2MoO4, Ga2 WO2, Ga2 Mo2O7, and Ga2W2O7, respectively.
