Mo 2 (O 2 CCH 3) 4 is prepared by treating molybdenum hexacarbonyl (Mo(CO) 6) with acetic acid.The process strips CO ligands from the hexacarbonyl and results in the oxidation of Mo(0) to Mo(II).
MO diagram of dimolybdenum. A sextuple bond is a type of covalent bond involving 12 bonding electrons and in which the bond order is 6. The only known molecules with true sextuple bonds are the diatomic dimolybdenum (Mo 2) and ditungsten (W 2), which exist in the gaseous phase and have boiling points of 4,639 °C (8,382 °F) and 5,930 °C (10,710 °F) respectively.
Molybdenum dioxide is a constituent of "technical molybdenum trioxide" produced during the industrial processing of MoS 2: [4] [5]. 2 MoS 2 + 7 O 2 → 2 MoO 3 + 4 SO 2 MoS 2 + 6 MoO 3 → 7 MoO 2 + 2 SO 2
