Abstract
THE interaction of NO2 and niobium dioxide (NbO2) was studied as part of a general programme to investigate the oxidation chemistry of NO2 with respect to its effect upon potentially non-stoichiometric oxides. Other oxides which have been investigated have shown that NO2 may act as an oxidizing agent as well as a nitrating and nitriting agent. In addition, significant quantities of physically and chemisorbed NO2 are always encountered in this type of interaction1. In a brief introductory study carried out on niobium oxide a number of significant points were uncovered which expand the present investigations.
