MOLYBDENUM (III) CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

-100 mesh with 99.5% purity; purple crystal(s) [STR93] [CER91]

Uses

Molybdenum(III) chloride reacts with tetrahydrothiophene to form complexes, which catalyze the polymerization and cyclotrimerization of alkynes.

Definition

ChEBI: Molybdenum trichloride is a molybdenum halide.

Purification Methods

Boil it with 12M HCl, wash it with absolute EtOH and dry it in a vacuum desiccator. It is a brown-red powder soluble in H2O, EtOH or Et2O and gives a blue solution in conc H2SO4. [Hein & Herzog Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol II p 1404 1965.]
