Within the frame of systematic morphological studies concerning the solvothermal formation of nanoscale and microscale molybdenum oxides from the interaction of a molybdenum‐based precursor such as MoO 3 ⋅2 H 2 O with ionic additives such as alkali and earth alkali halides, we studied – with the aim to elaborate preparative guidelines – the influence of the precursor structure and the alkali halide upon the crystal structure of the emerging alkali polymolybdates in terms of solvothermal fields and high‐throughput solvothermal techniques. The discussion of the resulting crystal structures revealed a structure‐directing potential of the alkali cations that was explored for the synthesis of new mixed alkali polymolybdates.
