The products obtained from MnO2–V2O5 mixtures at the ambient oxygen pressure and temperatures up to 900 °C were studied by means of thermal analysis and x-ray diffraction methods. The following phases were found to exist in equilibrium, depending on the composition: (I) Mn2O3–Mn2V2O7, (II) Mn2V2O7–MnV2O6, and (III) V2O5–solid solution of VO2 in MnV2O6. A phase diagram was obtained for the composition region III. The data are instructive for syntheses of manganese vanadates by thermal methods.
