A new double-Keggin-ion-templated, molybdenum-oxide-based organic-inorganic hybrid compound has been hydrothermally synthesized and its electrocatalytic properties investigated.

Molybdenum adsorption behavior was investigated on various crystalline and x-ray amorphous Al and Fe oxide minerals, clay minerals, CaC@, and arid-zone calcareous and noncalcareous s soils. Molybdenum adsorption on botb Al and Fe oxides exhibited a maximum at low pH extending to about pH 4 to 5. Above pH 5 adsorption decreased rapidly, with little adsorption occurring above pH 8. Molybdenum ads...

This paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. For more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

Silica core-shell nanoparticles of about 60-120 nm with a closed outer layer of bismuth or molybdenum oxide of 1-10 nm were synthesized by an integrated chemical vapor synthesis/chemical vapor deposition process at atmospheric pressure. Film growth rates and activation energies were derived from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images for a deposition process based on molybdenum hexacarbo...

Efficient total syntheses of fluvibactin and vibriobactin have been achieved via molybdenum(VI) oxide-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization, Sb(OEt)(3)-catalyzed ester-amide transformation, and WSCI and HOAt-promoted dehydrative amide formation.

The molecular structures of the surface overlayers of rhenium(VI1) oxide, molybdenum(V1) oxide, tungsten(V1) oxide, chromium(V1) oxide, vanadium(V) oxide, niobium(V) oxide, and titanium( IV) oxide on y-alumina were determined by in situ Raman spectroscopy under dehydrated conditions. It was found that the dehydrated surface metal oxide structures of all the systems under study, except for suppo...

In light of the recent attention MoS2 has received regarding its possibilities for use in the photocatalytic evolution of H2, we have conducted a comparative computational investigation of some key properties that determine water reactivity such as the molecular structure and water adsorption properties of molybdenum oxide and sulfide clusters. Using density functional theory methods, we have f...

The title salt, (C(5)H(6)N)(4)[Mo(2)Cl(2)O(5)(SO(4))(2)], comprises four pyridinium cations for each [(MoClO(2))(2)(μ-O)(μ-SO(4))(2)](4-) anionic unit. The asymmetric unit consists of three aggregates of the empirical formula. The tetra-anionic bimetallic molybdenum(VI) cluster is unprecedented and contains two sulfate and one oxide bridges. This structure constitutes the first example of a non...
