Description

• 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.[1] [2]
• Application: Molybdenum(V) chloride can be used:As a catalyst for amidation of secondary benzyl alcohols.[1]As a precursor to fabricate MoS2 thin films by atomic layer deposition method.[3]As a primary catalyst for coordination polymerization of butadiene.[2]To fabricate superior anode materials for Na-ion and Li-ion batteries.[4]As a dual-function redox mediator for Li–O2 batteries to overcome thehigh polarization and low energy density issues.[5]
