:Molybdenum chloride (MoCl4), (T-4)-
Description:
Molybdenum chloride (MoCl4) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black solid form. It is a transition metal halide, where molybdenum exhibits a +4 oxidation state. MoCl4 is known for its high reactivity, particularly with moisture, leading to hydrolysis and the formation of molybdenum oxides and hydrochloric acid. This compound is typically synthesized through the direct reaction of molybdenum with chlorine gas at elevated temperatures. In terms of its physical properties, MoCl4 has a relatively high melting point and is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including catalysis and as a precursor for other molybdenum compounds. Additionally, it can serve as a source of molybdenum in metallurgical processes. Due to its reactivity, handling MoCl4 requires caution, as it can release toxic fumes upon decomposition. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when dealing with this compound.
