Brief Introduction to Molybdenum Chemistry, 2013 - II

MolybdenumThe chemistry of molybdenum is extraordinarily versatile: oxidation states from (-II) to (VI), coordination numbers from 4 to 8 and, accordingly a very varied stereochemistry; the ability to form compounds with most inorganic and organic ligands and bi- and polynuclear compounds containing molybdenum-molybdenum bonds and bridging ligands.

It is this versatility which makes the chemistry of molybdenum challenging and exciting and the actual and potential applications of its compounds many and varied. Molybdenum is the first of the transition metals to have an extensive sulfur chemistry shown, for example, having as its principal ore molybdenum disulfide, MoS2, its binding by sulfur ligands in molybdenum containing enzymes, application of MoS2 as an important industrial catalyst, and formation of many sulfur complexes some of which are used as soluble lubricating oil additives.
