Molybdenum(V) Chloride possesses excellent Lewis acid strength, enabling it to effectively participate in a variety of catalytic reactions, including olefin polymerization, organic conversion, and addition reactions, bringing higher efficiency and selectivity to synthetic routes.
Cl5Mo can be used as a chlorinating agent at high temperatures in the chlorination metallurgical process of metals or metal oxides. Simultaneously, it also serves as a chlorine source in certain chlorination reactions during organic synthesis.
Its high reactivity makes it a relatively flexible catalyst in synthetic chemistry, used for complex organic transformations or materials chemistry reactions.
Because Cl5Mo itself has a controllable structure and is easily decomposed into lower valence states of molybdenum, it is used as a precursor for materials such as metallic molybdenum thin films and molybdenum oxides.
Molybdenum (V) Chloride is an important starting material for many molybdenum complexes and is commonly used to prepare molybdenanes, molybdenum phosphine complexes, etc. It is a commonly used chemical in organometallic chemistry laboratories.
It is commonly used in olefin polymerization, C-H bond activation, chlorination, and oxychlorination reactions, significantly increasing reaction rates due to its strong acidity and high reactivity.
It can be used to deposit high-purity molybdenum metal films, molybdenum nitride hard wear-resistant coatings, etc., on substrate surfaces. These coatings are crucial in the fields of semiconductors and electrocatalysis.
MoCl₅ can be used as a reagent for detecting alkaloids (such as strychnine).
Molybdenum(V) Chloride is extremely sensitive to air and moisture, and therefore must be operated in a glove box filled with inert gas (nitrogen or argon) or a dry vacuum system.
When storing, the container must be absolutely sealed, and the storage area should be dry, well-ventilated, and away from water sources.
Heating will cause it to decompose; therefore, exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight should be avoided. All operations must be conducted within a high-efficiency fume hood.
In case of fire, never use water or foam to extinguish the fire. Instead, use dry sand, soda ash, or a Class D metal dry powder fire extinguisher to smother the fire.
All contaminated materials and waste MoCl5 must be treated as hazardous chemical waste and disposed of by qualified professional organizations.
1. What is Molybdenum(V) Chloride?
Molybdenum(V) Chloride is the chloride of molybdenum in its +5 oxidation state, with the chemical formula Cl5Mo. It is a dark green or grayish-black hygroscopic crystalline solid. It possesses extremely strong Lewis acidity and oxidizing properties, and is extremely sensitive to water and air. It hydrolyzes violently in the presence of water and must be handled under absolutely anhydrous conditions.
2. What are the most important application areas of MoCl5?
Its most important applications are concentrated in two directions: first, in the field of organic synthesis and catalysis, as a key precursor for strong Lewis acid catalysts and catalysts for the preparation of olefin metathesis; second, in the field of advanced materials, as a high-purity raw material for depositing various molybdenum-based functional thin films (such as MoS2 lubricating layers and MoN hard coatings) through CVD/ALD processes.
3. How to safely open and use MoCl5 encapsulated in ampoules?
This must be done in a glove box filled with inert gas. If a glove box is unavailable, a special ampoule opener connected to a vacuum/inert gas dual-line system is required. First, connect the ampoule to the system, repeatedly evacuate and fill with inert gas to replace the air. Then, under positive inert gas pressure protection, carefully break off the neck of the ampoule at the designated notch. Immediately transfer the contents to a dried container that has been purged with inert gas.
4. How should waste liquid or solids containing residual Molybdenum(V) Chloride be disposed of after the reaction?
Direct disposal or pouring down the drain is strictly prohibited. The reaction mixture should be carefully and slowly quenched in a fume hood under inert gas protection using a large excess of dry sodium carbonate powder or granular soda lime. This process will generate intense heat and gas, and must be carried out in an ice bath with thorough stirring. After complete quenching, the solid residue should be sealed and collected as hazardous waste and disposed of by a professional organization.
