Metal molybdates are important catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes to the more useful corresponding olefins. The method used for the preparation of the metal molybdates has a major impact on the chemical and physical properties of these materials, and consequently, the catalytic activity. In particular the use of bimetallic single source precursors provides a low temperature approach that overcomes problems associated with the use of high temperatures and can also allow the synthesis of metastable phases. In this study, the synthesis of nickel molybdates using bimetallic salts of amino acids will be discussed.  <br/>
