Abstract: A soft chemical method has been developed for the synthesis of nanorods of Ag₆Mo_{10O33. TG/DTA and XRD results confirmed the formation of Ag6Mo10O33 phase at 773 K. Different intermediates formed during the formation of this phase were elucidated.}

Keywords: soft chemical method; silver molybdate nanorods; metastable-stable intermediates; nanotechnology; synthesis; annealing; microstructure; phase evolution.
