Abstract
Abstract A substitutional solid-solution type crystalline oxide represented by the general formula: [(V1-x-y-zFexCryAlz)O]2P2O7 wherein 0</=x</=0.40, 0</=y</=0.40, 0</=z</=0.40, and 0<x+y+z</=0.40, and having the same crystal structure as (VO)2P2O7, and a precursory substitutional solid-solution type crystalline oxide therefor having a specific crystal structure. The former oxide has high activity and selectivity as a catalyst for vapor phase oxidation, particularly for producing maleic anhydride from a hydrocarbon containing four carbon atoms.
