Molybdenum(IV) Oxide
Molybdenum dioxide is the chemical compound with the chemical formula, formula MoO. It is a violet-colored solid and is a metallic conductor. The mineralogical form of this compound is called tugarinovite, and is only very rarely found. Structure It crystallizes in a monoclinic cell, and has a distorted rutile, (titanium dioxide, TiO2) crystal structure. In TiO the oxide anions are close-packing, close packed and titanium atoms occupy half of the octahedral interstices (holes). In MoO the octahedra are distorted, the Mo atoms are off-centre, leading to alternating short and long Mo – Mo distances and Mo-Mo bonding. The short Mo – Mo distance is 251 picometer, pm which is less than the Mo – Mo distance in the metal, 272.5 pm. The bond length is shorter than would be expected for a single bond. The bonding is complex and involves a delocalisation of some of the Mo electrons in a conductance band accounting for the metallic conductivity. Preparation MoO can be prepared : *by r ...
