A number of gaseous oxyacid salts have been identified by Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry, while vaporizing Cr2O3 and mixtures of Cr2O3+Nb2O5, Cr2O 3+Ta2O5, Cr2O3+BaO, and Cr2O3+ Mg2P2O7 from molybdenum and tungsten cells. The stabilities of the gaseous molecules CrMoO3, CrMoO4, CrMoO5, CrWO3, CrWO4, CrWO5, CrNbO3, CrTaO3, CrPO2, CrPO3, BaCrO2 and BaCrO3 were deduced from the measurements. The thermodynamic properties of this gaseous chromium-containing species are summarized. Prediction is tentatively made of the stability of as-yet unstudied gaseous molecules.
