Abstract: A new molybdenum oxide phase which exists in bomb combustion products of Mo was found. It has been determined that this phase is a transformed MoO_3 of triclinic system.One set of its lattice parameters was also determined from the X-ray diffraction data as α=0.4049± 0.0001 nm,b=0.5079±0.0003 nm,c=1.4339±0.0009 nm,α=115.16±0.08°,β=90.69± 0.14°,γ=105.58±0.05° and unit cell volume=0.2544 nm~3.

Key words: Mo oxide, bomb combustion, MoO_3 transgorm
