Molybdenum trichloride

Description:

Molybdenum trichloride, with the chemical formula MoCl3 and CAS number 13478-18-7, is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark green to black solid form. It is a transition metal halide that exhibits a layered structure, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Molybdenum trichloride is known for its ability to act as a Lewis acid, making it useful in various catalytic processes, particularly in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions. It is soluble in polar solvents, such as alcohols and some ethers, but is generally insoluble in nonpolar solvents. The compound can release chlorine gas upon heating, and it is sensitive to moisture, which can lead to hydrolysis. Molybdenum trichloride is utilized in the production of molybdenum-based catalysts and as a precursor for other molybdenum compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
