Ammonium phosphomolybdate is the inorganic salt of phosphomolybdic acid with the chemical formula (NH4)3PMo12O40. The salt contains the phosphomolybdate anion, a well known heteropolymetalate of the Keggin structural class.

Synthesis

Ammonium phosphomolybdate can be made by heating ammonium orthomolybdate combined with phosphoric acid and nitric acid, yielding ammonium nitrate, water, and a yellow precipitate of ammonium phosphomolybdate is obtained.{{cite book |doi=10.1002/9781118744994.ch39|chapter=Keggin Structure Polyoxometalates |volume=36 |year=2014 |last1=Dias |first1=José Alves |last2=Dias |first2=Sílvia Cláudia Loureiro |last3=Caliman |first3=Ednéia |title=Inorganic Syntheses: Volume 36 | pages=210–217|isbn=9781118744994 }}

Normally, it often exists as a hexahydrate, a dark yellow fine crystal which is poorly soluble in water.

It is also obtained as a test result for phosphate ions.
