Starting with PbO 2 instead of PbO, it was possible to prepare PbMoO 4 and PbzMoO 5 at 405 and 430°C, respectively, instead of 650 and 760°C [7,8].

Introduction Lead molybdates have a wide scope of applications in solid state laser engineering for resonance and emission studies [1-3], microwave, optical maser devices [2], as well as for acousto-optical purposes [4,5]. It is necessary to understand the solid state reactions taking place during the fabrication of this type of ceramics by investigating the equilibrium relationships in the ternary system PbO 2 P b - M o O 3 in order to determine the best conditions for their preparation in a reproducible way as a first step in studying their physical characteristics. There are two lead molybdates reported in the literature, these are PbMoO~ and Pb2MoO 5. The P b M o O 4, wulfenite, occurs naturally in lead veins w
