Interface confined reactions, which can modulate the bonding of reactants with catalytic centres and influence the rate of the mass transport from bulk solution, have emerged as a viable strategy for achieving highly stable and selective catalysis. Here we demonstrate that 1T'-enriched lithiated molybdenum disulfide is a highly powerful reducing agent, which can be exploited for the in-situ red...

Molybdenum(VI) oxide reacts with molten LiC1-KCI eutectie at 450 ~ to form MOO2C12, which probably is present as an anion MoO2Cl4 =, and pyromolybdate, Mo207 =. Both of these species are electrochemically reduced to MOO2, which can be reoxidized to MoO2CI2 by current reversal. A second reduction step, observed whether MoO3 or Mo2072is added to the melt, can be attributed to the reduction of MoO...

In 1938 it was discovered that naturally occurring molybdenum in certain pastures in the United Kingdom was responsible for a severe disease of cattle and sheep (1). The unhealthy pastures were characterized by a molybdenum content of 20 to 1.00 parts per million on the dry basis, as compared with less than 5 p.p.m. in the normal pasture. The experimental production of the disease by administra...

The production of lung adenomas in strain A mice following multiple i.p. injections of 13 metallic compounds was investigated. A significant increase in the average number of lung tumors per mouse was noted following the administration of lead subacetate, manganous sulfate, molybdenum trioxide, and nickelous acetate. These four compounds can be considered as weakly carcinogenic for lung tumors ...

Molybdenum hexacarbonyl (Mo(CO)6) was used as an efficient catalyst for the chemoselective reduction of the amide functionality in α,β-unsaturated compounds, under hydrosilylation conditions using 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) as the hydride source.

Tricarbonyl hydride derivatives of cyclopentadienyl-chromium, -molybdenum and -tungsten compounds covalently linked to a macroreticular polystyrene support are obtained by treatment of polystyrene-attached cyclopentadienyl anions with the respective metal hexacarbonyl and subsequent acidification. In contrast to the ease with which unsupported cyclopentaruenyl·chromium and -molybdenum tricarbon...

A correlation is developed for relating Rarnan stretching frequencies of molybdenum-oxygen ( M 4 ) bonds to their respective bond distances in molybdenum oxide compounds. M+O bond orders are also related to Stretching frequencies. The M 4 correlation is expected to offer invaluable insight into the structures of rnolybdate species in chemical systems which are not amenable to analysis by difkac...

The synthesis of novel biornimetic molybdenum and tungsten compounds that are potential model complexes for molybdenum and tungsten oxidase enzymes is being pursued. Model complexes such as these provide a bener understanding of the basic chemistry of a metal center in an environmeot similar to that found in particular enzyme active sites. This understanding provides a good Starting point [or b...
