Tetrathiomolybdate(2-)

Description:

Tetrathiomolybdate(2-) is a coordination compound featuring molybdenum in a low oxidation state, specifically Mo(IV). It is characterized by its complexation with four thiolate ligands, which are derived from thiol groups. This compound typically exhibits a tetrahedral geometry around the molybdenum center, contributing to its stability and solubility in aqueous solutions. Tetrathiomolybdate(2-) is known for its role in various biochemical applications, particularly in the treatment of Wilson's disease, where it helps in the removal of excess copper from the body. The compound is also of interest in catalysis and materials science due to its unique electronic properties. In terms of reactivity, tetrathiomolybdate can participate in redox reactions and can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of other molybdenum-containing compounds. Its stability, solubility, and ability to form complexes with other metal ions make it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings.
