Product Information

• Name: Trifluoromolybdenum
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trifluoromolybdenum is a chemical element with symbol MoF and atomic number 42. It is a very rare, hard, silvery metal that resists corrosion. Trifluoromolybdenum has been shown to form electrochemical cells in the presence of fluorine, hydrogen fluoride, and oxygen. The reaction mechanism for this process is not well understood but it may involve oxidation by hydrogen fluoride or direct reaction with fluorine gas. Trifluoromolybdenum has been shown to react with monoclonal antibodies as well as polyclonal antibodies but not with trifluoroacetic acid or ammonia. Laser ablation experiments have shown that trifluoromolybdenum can be synthesized by heating molybdenum metal at constant temperature in hydrogen fluoride gas. This process requires an activation energy of 0.6 eV and the rate of the reaction increases linearly with increasing laser power density up to a threshold value
