Chemical Formula： MoCl₅
Molecular Weight: 273.20 g/mol
Appearance: Greenish-black
Melting Point: Decomposes around 194 °C.
Solubility: Hydrolyzes in water and reacts with moisture in the air.
Structure: MoCl₅ is generally dimeric in the solid state, forming (MoCl₅)₂ units.
1. Catalysis: Molybdenum Chloride is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, especially in reactions like olefin polymerization and other types of chemical transformations where molybdenum can act as a Lewis acid.
2. Material Science: It is utilized in the preparation of molybdenum-based compounds and materials, which are used in high-temperature and corrosion-resistant applications.
3. Precursors for Thin Films: MoCl₅ can serve as a precursor for the deposition of thin films of molybdenum or molybdenum-containing compounds, especially in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
4. Synthesis of Molybdenum Compounds: MoCl₅ is used to synthesize other molybdenum compounds, such as molybdenum oxides, sulfides, and halides, which have various applications in catalysis and material science.
Handling Conditions: Molybdenum pentachloride is highly reactive and should be handled in a dry, well-ventilated environment. Prolonged exposure to moisture and air should be avoided. It is recommended to operate under an inert atmosphere and to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as protective gloves, safety goggles, and lab clothing, to prevent irritation or corrosion to the skin and eyes.
Storage Conditions: Molybdenum chloride should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, humidity, and strong oxidizing agents. Containers with good corrosion resistance and airtight sealing are recommended, and storage under an inert gas or in a dry environment is preferred to maintain chemical stability and product quality.
It is typically packaged in airtight containers lined with inert materials to effectively isolate it from air and moisture. Different packaging sizes and specifications can be provided according to customer requirements, ensuring stable quality and safety during transportation and storage.
