Abstract
beta-Bi2O3, metastable at normal conditions, was synthesized by several low -temperature methods. The formation of the fluorite-type cubic oxide BiO2 a nd its transformation to beta-Bi2O3 were studied. beta-Bi2O3 shows synergis m with MoO3 in the catalysis of propylene oxidation to acrolein, being, in this regard, superior to its stable modification.
