Chain of tetrahedral vanadate [VO₄]⁻ units, each sharing two corners

Sodium metavanadate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaVO₃.^[2] It is a yellow, water-soluble salt.

Sodium metavanadate is a common precursor to other vanadates. At low pH it converts to sodium decavanadate. It is also precursor to exotic metalates such as [γ-PV₂W₁₀O₄₀]^5-, [α-PVW₁₁O₄₀]^4-, and [β-PV₂W₁₀O₄₀]^5-.^[3]

Minerals

Sodium metavanadate occurs as two minor minerals, metamunirite (anhydrous) and a dihydrate, munirite. Both are very rare, metamunirite is now known only from vanadium- and uranium-bearing sandstone formations of central-western USA and munirite from Pakistan and South Africa.^[4]
