CAS 13939-06-5: Molybdenum hexacarbonyl
Description:Molybdenum hexacarbonyl, with the chemical formula Mo(CO)6 and CAS number 13939-06-5, is a coordination compound characterized by its six carbon monoxide (CO) ligands coordinated to a central molybdenum atom. This compound is typically a volatile, yellow solid at room temperature and is known for its air-sensitive nature, requiring careful handling under inert atmospheres to prevent decomposition. Molybdenum hexacarbonyl exhibits a high degree of molecular symmetry, specifically octahedral geometry, which contributes to its stability in the presence of CO. It is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene but insoluble in water. The compound is of interest in various fields, including organometallic chemistry and catalysis, due to its ability to act as a precursor for molybdenum-based catalysts and materials. Additionally, it can undergo thermal decomposition to yield molybdenum metal and carbon monoxide, making it a useful source of molybdenum in synthetic applications. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound due to its toxicity and potential health hazards associated with carbon monoxide exposure.
