Enthalpy molybdenum compounds

Metal-metal bond enthalpy contributions in binuclear molybdenum compounds. 

With few exceptions, the adiabatic temperatures of the listed materials exceed the empirically established minimum limit for SHS, about 2000 K [1]. Generally the exceptions are compounds of tungsten (W2C, WC, WB, W2B), molybdenum (M02C, MoN, MoB), and chromium (Cr3C2). It should be emphasized that the temperatures in Table 1 are based on adiabatic conditions and thus are upper limits which are seldom achieved in practice. In some cases, notably in the case of nitrides, the adiabatic temperature is so high as to exceed the dissociation temperature of the nitride phase. Examining Table 1 shows a general trend between the enthalpy of formation of the material and its adiabatic temperature. However, a more accurate relationship is between the ratio of the enthalpy to the heat capacity (Ef/Cp)29g and the adiabatic...
