A 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) chelated molybdenum(VI) citrate, [(MoO2)2O(H2cit)(phen)(H2O)2] x H2O (1) (H4cit = citric acid), is isolated from the reaction of citric acid, ammonium molybdate and phen in acidic media (pH 0.5-1.0). A citrato oxomolybdenum(V) complex, [(MoO)2O(H2cit)2(bpy)2] x 4H2O (2), is synthesized by the reduction of citrato molybdate with hydrazine hydrochloride in the presenc...

The LUMINEU program aims at performing a pilot experiment on neutrinoless double beta decay of Mo using radiopure ZnMoO4 crystals operated as scintillating bolometers. Growth of high quality radiopure crystals is a complex task, since there are no commercially available molybdenum compounds with the required levels of purity and radioactive contamination. This paper discusses approaches to puri...

I . The oral administration of sodium molybdate caused a rapid rise of molybdenum in the milk of cows and goats fed on a low-molybdenum diet, but did not affect the xanthine oxidase activities of the milk of either species. 2. In the milks of cows not dosed with sodium molybdate, the regression of the xanthine oxidase activity ( y ) on the molybdenum content (x) was found to be (r = +0.9386; P ...

Active transport of exogenous sulfate into log phase cells of Porphyridium aerueineum followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the apparent Km for sulfate transport is approximately 2.5 x 10(-6)m. Molybdate, also a group VI anion, is a competitive inhibitor of sulfate transport, and the inhibition is freely reversible. Once in the cell, molybdate depresses the rate of sulfate pool utilization by...

The aim of this in vitro study was to examine the secretion activity (progesterone, 17beta-estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I) of rat ovarian fragments after molybdenum (Mo) addition. Rat ovarian fragments were incubated with ammonium molybdate (NH(4))(6)Mo(7)O(24).4H(2)O at the doses 90, 170, 330 and 500 microg.ml(-1) for 24 h and compared with control group without Mo addition. Releas...

Glutathione (GSH) production during wine fermentation is a desirable trait as it can limit must and wine oxidation and protect various aromatic compounds. UMCC 2581 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strain with enhanced GSH content at the end of wine fermentation. This strain was previously derived by selection for molybdate resistance following a sexual cycle of UMCC 855 using an evolution-ba...

We have investigated the physiochemical characteristics of trypsin-treated, molybdate-stabilized glucocorticoid-receptor complexes from rat liver in the presence of 10 mM sodium molybdate by high performance ion-exchange chromatography, high performance size-exclusion chromatography, and sedimentation analysis. Trypsin treatment was performed under conditions previously reported to degrade the ...

The self-assembly of molybdate building units in the presence of Fe(II) and V(IV) produces the first mixed-spin heterometal keplerate-type clusters displaying ferrimagnetic interactions.

a pvc-based membrane containing cerium phosphate was developed. unlike the cerium phosphate itself that acts as a cation exchanger, the membrane exhibited anion-exchange properties. therefore, the utility of this compound as a sensory element for detection of molybdate ions was pursued. the response of molybdate selective electrode based on this membrane was perfectly linear in the concentratio...

In this research, a new technetium-99m generator has been developed with addition of Cerium oxide to alumina column.  The adsorption behaviors of 99Mo in the form of molybdate and 99mTc in the form of pertechnetate on CeO2/Al2O3 was investigated and showed that the adsorption capacity of molybdate on this generator is higher than usual generator using Al2O3. Ceric ions were selected as an addit...
