Short description: Group of chemical compounds

A niobate is an oxo-acid salt formed by niobium(V), and the common forms are metaniobate (NbO3) and orthoniobate (NbO43−). The most common niobates are lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and potassium niobate (KNbO3).

Preparation

The niobate can be obtained by reacting niobium pentoxide with the corresponding oxide, hydroxide or carbonate.[1] For example, reacting lithium carbonate with niobium pentoxide would obtain lithium niobate:[2]

Li2CO3 + Nb2O5 → 2 LiNbO3 + CO2

Cobalt metaniobate can be obtained by heating a mixture of cobalt monoxide and niobium pentoxide:[3]

CoO + Nb2O5 → Co(NbO3)2

Lanthanide oxides react with niobium pentoxide to form the lanthanide orthoniobates:[4]

Ln2O3 + Nb2O5 → 2 LnNbO4
