General description
Molybdenum(V) chloride, also called as molybdenum pentachloride is a Lewis acid with high oxidation potential. It is widely used as a catalyst in the field of organic synthesis and polymer chemistry. It is also used as a chemical vapor deposition precursor.
Application
Molybdenum(V) chloride can be used:
- As a catalyst for amidation of secondary benzyl alcohols.
- As a precursor to fabricate MoS2 thin films by atomic layer deposition method.
- As a primary catalyst for coordination polymerization of butadiene.
- To fabricate superior anode materials for Na-ion and Li-ion batteries.
- As a dual-function redox mediator for Li–O2 batteries to overcome thehigh polarization and low energy density issues.
