The Chemical Reactions of Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide is stable in air, consistent with its existence as a common mineral. It does react with oxygen upon heating forming molybdenum trioxide:

2 MoS2 + 9 O2 → 2 MoO3 + 4 SO3

Chlorine attacks molybdenum disulfide at elevated temperatures to form molybdenum pentachloride:

2 MoS2 + 7 Cl2 → 2 MoCl5 + 2 S2Cl2

Molybdenum disulfide is a host for formation of intercalation compounds.[6] One example lithiated material, LixMoS2. With butyl lithium, the product is LiMoS2.
