Sodium metavanadate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaVO3.[1] 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-.[2]
