Molybdenum is a chemical element; it has symbol Mo (from Neo-Latin molybdaenum) and atomic number 42. The name derived from Ancient Greek Μόλυβδος molybdos, meaning lead, since its ores were confused with lead ores. [12]
Molybdenum disulfide (or moly) is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur. Its chemical formula is MoS 2. The compound is classified as a transition metal dichalcogenide. It is a silvery black solid that occurs as the mineral molybdenite, the principal ore for molybdenum. [6] MoS 2 is relatively unreactive.
Molybdenum nitride (Mo 2 N) is a binary inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and nitrogen. It belongs to the family of transition metal nitrides and exhibits properties that make it useful in applications such as a catalyst and a coating material.
Molybdenum trioxide describes a family of inorganic compounds with the formula MoO 3 (H 2 O) n where n = 0, 1, 2. The anhydrous compound is produced on the largest scale of any molybdenum compound since it is the main intermediate produced when molybdenum ores are purified. The anhydrous oxide is a precursor to molybdenum metal, an important ...
An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.
The most widely used alloy of molybdenum is the Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum alloy TZM, composed of 0.5% titanium and 0.08% of zirconium (with molybdenum being the rest). The alloy exhibits a higher creep resistance and strength at high temperatures, making service temperatures of above 1060 °C possible for the material.
Molybdenum hexacarbonyl is the precursor to many substituted derivatives. It reacts with organolithium reagents to give anionic acyls which can be O-alkylated to give Fischer carbenes. Structure of (mesitylene)molybdenum tricarbonyl. Mo(CO) 6 reacts with arenes to give piano-stool complexes such as (mesitylene)molybdenum tricarbonyl.
Molybdenum(II) acetate is a coordination compound with the formula Mo 2 (O 2 CCH 3) 4. It is a yellow, diamagnetic , air-stable solid that is slightly soluble in organic solvents. Molybdenum(II) acetate is an iconic example of a compound with a metal-metal quadruple bond .
