  2. Molybdenum disulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum_disulfide

    Molybdenum disulfide (or moly) is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur. Its chemical formula is MoS2. 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]

  3. Molybdenum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum

    Molybdenum. body-centered cubic (bcc) (cI2) 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. [9]

  4. Molybdenite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenite

    Molybdenite is a mineral of molybdenum disulfide, Mo S 2. Similar in appearance and feel to graphite, molybdenite has a lubricating effect that is a consequence of its layered structure. The atomic structure consists of a sheet of molybdenum atoms sandwiched between sheets of sulfur atoms. The Mo-S bonds are strong, but the interaction between ...

    Carbon disulfide is a precursor to organosulfur compounds. −111.6: 46: 75-15-0: PbS: Lead sulfide is used in infra-red sensors. 1114: 1314-87-0: MoS 2: Molybdenum disulfide, the mineral molybdenite, is used as a catalyst to remove sulfur from fossil fuels; also as lubricant for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. 1317-33-5: Cl ...

  6. Disulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfide

    Disulfide. In chemistry, a disulfide (or disulphide in British English) is a compound containing a R−S−S−R′ functional group or the S2−. 2 anion. The linkage is also called an SS-bond or sometimes a disulfide bridge and usually derived from two thiol groups.

  7. Molybdenum disilicide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum_disilicide

    Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2, or molybdenum silicide), an intermetallic compound, a silicide of molybdenum, is a refractory ceramic with primary use in heating elements. It has moderate density, melting point 2030 °C, and is electrically conductive. At high temperatures it forms a passivation layer of silicon dioxide, protecting it from ...

  8. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

    Dry lubricant. Dry lubricants or solid lubricants are materials that, despite being in the solid phase, are able to reduce friction between two surfaces sliding against each other without the need for a liquid oil medium. [1] The two main dry lubricants are graphite and molybdenum disulfide. They offer lubrication at temperatures higher than ...
