Nickel-based alloys are well-known multicomponent with a composition carefully balanced to provide the desired properties for various industrial applications. While these corrosion resistant, under severe conditions can still occur, which result in serious damage system operation. To improve their reliability, of nickel-based be tailored particular operating conditions. resistance, alloying ele...

The effects of alloying concentration on the aqueous corrosion behavior aluminum-manganese-molybdenum (Al-Mn-Mo) alloys with 8–20 at% Mn and 0–30 Mo were investigated by experiments atomistic simulations. pitting potential Al-Mn-Mo increased Mo% from − 0.16–0.49 V. passive film thickness depended total alloy concentration, while its compactness defect density individual ones. Specifically, Al80...

The transition element molybdenum needs to be complexed by a special cofactor to gain catalytic activity. Molybdenum is bound to a unique pterin, thus forming the molybdenum cofactor (Moco), which, in different variants, is the active compound at the catalytic site of all molybdenum-containing enzymes in nature, except bacterial molybdenum nitrogenase. The biosynthesis of Moco involves the comp...

In 1938 it was discovered that naturally occurring molybdenum in certain pastures in the United Kingdom was responsible for a severe disease of cattle and sheep (1). The unhealthy pastures were characterized by a molybdenum content of 20 to 1.00 parts per million on the dry basis, as compared with less than 5 p.p.m. in the normal pasture. The experimental production of the disease by administra...

A simple, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the individual and simultaneous determination of Ti(IV) and Mo(VI) using salicylaldehyde p-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (SAPHBH) in presence of Triton X100, without any prior separation. Beer’s law is obeyed between 0.15-2.0 and 0.20-2.51 μgmL concentration of Ti(IV) and Mo(VI) at 470 and 410 nm, respectively. The mol...

A procedure was developed that allows precise determination of molybdenum isotope abundances in natural samples. Purification of molybdenum was first achieved by solvent extraction using di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate. Further separation of molybdenum from isobar nuclides was obtained by ion chromatography using AG1-X8 strongly basic anion exchanger. Finally, molybdenum isotopic composition was mea...

In Methanobacterium wolfei two formylmethanofuran dehydrogenases are present, one of which is a molybdenum- and the other a tungsten enzyme. We report here that also the 'molybdenum' enzyme contained tungsten when the archaeon was grown on molybdenum-deprived medium supplemented with tungstate (1 microM). Unexpectedly the tungsten-substituted molybdenum enzyme was catalytically active and displ...

Mo and Mo-based alloys are important aerospace materials with excellent high temperature mechanical properties. However, their oxidation resistance is very poor at temperature, the formation of volatile MoO3 will lead to catastrophic failure molybdenum alloy components. Extensive research on problem has indicated that halide activated pack cementation (HAPC) technology an ideal method solve pro...

A series of molybdenum(VI) complexes containing bidentate ligands: toluene-3,4-dithiol (1), 2-mercaptophenol (2), 2-aminothiophenol (3), ethane-1,2-dithiol (4), dithiooxamide (5) and 2-thiopheno-carboxamide (6) are reported. The hexacoordinated molybdenum tris-chelates compounds: tris-(toluene-3, 4-dithiolate)molybdenum(VI) (7), tris-(2-mercaptophenolate)molybdenum(VI) (8), tris-(2-aminothiophe...

The effective synthesis of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides alloy is essential for successful application in electronic and optical devices based on a tunable band gap. Here we show a synthesis process for Mo1-xWxS2 alloy using sulfurization of super-cycle atomic layer deposition Mo1-xWxOy. Various spectroscopic and microscopic results indicate that the synthesized Mo1-xWxS2 all...
