The thermal decomposition of NbCl 2 (OCH 3 ) 3 in an atmosphere of argon or oxygen was carried out and the overall reactions of them were described. The representative reactions were determined as:The structures of the solids produced by the pyrolysis were examined. TT‐Nb 2 O 5 was one of the main solid products and it contains a small amount of chlorine atoms in place of oxygen atoms. Then, it is suggested that the so‐called TT‐modification might be composed of not only one structure, but of various structures represented by the equation, Nb 6n−2 X 16n−6 (n = 1, 2, 3, …).
