Rather than adopting a close-packed structure typical of metal dihalides, e.g., cadmium chloride, molybdenum(II) chloride forms a structure based on clusters. Molybdenum(II), which is a rather large ion, prefers to form compounds with metal-metal bonds, i.e. metal clusters. In fact all "lower halides" (i.e. where halide/M ratio is <4) in the ...
Molybdenum chloride can refer to: Molybdenum(II) chloride (molybdenum dichloride), MoCl 2; Molybdenum(III) chloride (molybdenum trichloride), MoCl 3;
Molybdenum(V) chloride is the inorganic compound with the empirical formula MoCl 5. This dark volatile solid is used in research to prepare other molybdenum compounds. It is moisture-sensitive and soluble in chlorinated solvents.
Molybdenum(IV) chloride MoCl 4, a black solid, which adopts a polymeric structure. Molybdenum(V) chloride MoCl 5 dark green solid, which adopts a dimeric structure. Molybdenum(VI) chloride MoCl 6 is a black solid, which is monomeric and slowly decomposes to MoCl 5 and Cl 2 at room temperature. [32]
Molybdenum trichloride exists as two polymorphs: alpha (α) and beta (β). The alpha structure is similar to that of aluminum chloride (AlCl 3). In this structure, molybdenum has octahedral coordination geometry and exhibits cubic close-packing in its crystalline structure. The beta structure, however, exhibits hexagonal close packing.
The molybdenum oxychlorides are a subset of metal oxyhalides. Molybdenum oxychloride may refer to: Molybdenum oxytetrachloride, MoOCl 4;

Molybdenum oxytetrachloride is the inorganic compound with the formula MoOCl 4. This thermally unstable, dark green solid is used to prepare other complexes of molybdenum. It adopts a square pyramidal structure of C 4v symmetry. As for other Mo(VI) compounds, it is diamagnetic. It decomposes thermally to MoOCl 3.
