Protonation and oxidation chemistry of a pentaethylcyclopentadienyl-containing molybdenum(IV) trihydride complex
2000
International audience; Compound CpEtMoCl4 (CpEt=η5-C5Et5) (1) can be transformed into CpEtMoH3(dppe) (2) and CpEtMoD3(dppe) (2-d3) [dppe=1,2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane] by reaction with LiAlX4 (X=H and D, respectively). The protonation and oxidation studies of these two compounds, in comparison with previously reported studies on (C5Me5) analogs, show important differences that may be attributed to a kinetic stabilization of the products, which is steric in nature. Protonation of 2 with HBF4 in acetonitrile affords [CpEtMoH4(dppe)]+ (3), which only slowly decomposes to [CpEtMoH2(MeCN)(dppe)]+ (4). Further protonation of the latter affords the monohydride species [Cp*MoH(dppe)(MeCN)2]2+ in t…
Molybdenum(VI)-dioxo complexes with sterically bulky thiocarboxylate ligands. Reactions with aliphatic thiols and electrochemical properties
1991
Abstract Under acid conditions, the reaction of (Bu n 4 N)2[Mo VI O 2 (O 2 CC(S)Ph 2 ) 2 ] with aliphatic thiols yields the monomeric [Mo V O(O 2 CC(S)Ph 2 ) 2 ] − as unique complex product. The experimental pseudo-first order rate constant with respect to the Mo(VI) complex was found to be K =6.1 × 10 −5 s −1 . At neutral pH, however, an unstable Mo(IV) species was formed which was also electrochemically detected in a reversible Mo(V,IV) couple. [Mo V O(O 2 CC(S)Ph 2 ) 2 ] − appears to be obtained by the reaction of [Mo IV O(O 2 CC(S)Ph 2 ) 2 ] 2− with unreacted [Mo VI O 2 (O 2 CC(S)Ph 2 ) 2 ] 2− . Steric features on the ligand (gemdiphenyl groups) explain that the latter reaction does not…
Adsorption and diffusion of a molybdenum atom on theTiO2(110)surface: A first-principles study
2007
A study on the structure and energetics of a single molybdenum atom adsorbed on the $\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}(110)$ surface is reported. All possible adsorption sites have been determined. Moreover, it is found that incorporation of the Mo atom into the first surface layer leads to considerably more stable structures than on any adsorption site. Different channels for migration of the molybdenum atom have been identified. The diffusion barriers of these channels have been determined. The results on structure and energetics are discussed by analyzing the electronic properties of the $\mathrm{Mo}∕\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}(110)$ systems.
Epitaxial growth of molybdenum on TiO2(110)
2003
Abstract Molybdenum was deposited on blue (i.e. non-stoichiometric) TiO2(1 1 0) surface using a very low deposition rate (less than 0.05 eqML min−1). The resulting deposit was investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD), LEED and XPS. Just after deposition, the film is mainly constituted of metallic molybdenum, contains oxygen homogeneously dispersed through the whole deposit and the broad features detected in XPD scans are interpreted as a coarse epitaxy between TiO2(1 1 0) surface and the (0 0 1) face of bcc molybdenum. The orientation relationship is: Mo(1 0 0)[0 0 1]//TiO2(1 1 0)[0 0 1]. After annealing the deposit at 673 K, XPD scans become sharper and epitaxy is ach…
Diffusion-Driven Formation of MoS2 Nanotube Bundles Containing MoS2 Nanopods
2011
MoS2 nanotube bundles, along with embedded nested fullerenes, were formed in a gas-phase reaction of molybdenum carbonyl and H2S gas with the assistance of I2. The amorphous Mo-S-I precursor particles obtained by quenching a modified metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reaction in a large temperature gradient were annealed at elevated temperature in an inert atmosphere. Under the influence of the iodine, the amorphous precursor formed a surface film with an enhanced mobility of the molybdenum and sulfur components. Point defects within the MoS2 layers, combined with the enhanced surface diffusion, lead to a scrolling of the inherently unstable MoS2 lamellae. The role of the reac…
The experimental facility for the Search for Hidden Particles at the CERN SPS
2019
The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Collaboration has shown that the CERN SPS accelerator with its 400 $\mathrm{\small GeV/c}$ proton beam offers a unique opportunity to explore the Hidden Sector. The proposed experiment is an intensity frontier experiment which is capable of searching for hidden particles through both visible decays and through scattering signatures from recoil of electrons or nuclei. The high-intensity experimental facility developed by the SHiP collaboration is based on a number of key features and developments which provide the possibility of probing a large part of the parameter space for a wide range of models with light long-lived superweakly interacting particles…
The reduction of tris-dithiolene complexes of molybdenum(vi) and tungsten(vi) by hydroxide ion: kinetics and mechanism
2004
The kinetic study of the spontaneous reduction of some neutral tris-dithiolene complexes [ML3] of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI), (L = S2C6H42−, S2C6H3CH32− and S2C2(CH3)22−; M = Mo or W) by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran-water solutions demonstrates that OH− is an effective reductant. Their reduction is fast, clean and quantitative. Depending upon both the molar ratio in which the reagents are mixed and the amount of water present, one- or two-electron reductions of these tris-dithiolene complexes were observed. If Bu4NOH is present in low concentration or/and at high concentrations of water, the total transformation of the neutral M(VI) complex into the monoanionic M(V) …

Synthesis of new vanadium–chromium and chromium–molybdenum oxynitrides by direct ammonolysis of freeze-dried precursors
2000
Interstitial vanadium–chromium and chromium–molybdenum oxynitrides in the solid solution series V1 − zCrz(OxNy) and Cr1 − zMoz(OxNy) (z = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) have been obtained by direct ammonolysis of precursors resulting from the freeze-drying of aqueous solutions of the appropriate metal salts. A study of the influence of the preparative variables on the outcomes of this procedure is presented. Compounds in the V1 − zCrz(OxNy) series are prepared as single phases by nitridation at 1073 K, followed by fast cooling of the samples. Compounds in the Cr1 − zMoz(OxNy) series are prepared as nearly single phases by nitridation at different temperatures, optimized for each composi…
The performance of molybdenum toughened alumina cutting tools in turning a particulate metal matrix composite
2003
In this paper, a study of the tool wear mechanism in turning aluminium alloy reinforced with alumina using molybdenum-toughened alumina tools is presented. Alumina tools with three different amounts (15, 20 and 25 vol.%) of molybdenum were prepared and tested. The wear type was identified and its evolution with cutting time was measured. The results show that the main mechanism of tool wear is abrasion and not heat. The best overall performance was achieved, as far as flank wear is concerned, using the tool with 20 vol.% of molybdenum added. This has been explained using some of the composites intrinsic properties. SEM examination revealed that molybdenum particles are easily torn from the …
