Molybdenum-induced reactions

A Few Selected Aspects of Electrode-induced Reactions at Mono- and Dinuclear Molybdenum-sulfur Centers... 

Mo(CO)6 with iodine in a sealed tube at 105°C.17 The thermal dissociation of Mol at 100°C. in a vacuum is reported to give M0I2.1 The sealed-tube furnace reaction of iodine with molybdenum metal powder at 300-400°C.19 as well as the thermally induced reaction of MoCI with fused lithium iodide1 are mentioned. 

The P" emitter Rb (Ti/2 = 1.3 min) has found application in myocardial blood flow studies with PET. The possible production methods for the parent Sr include the He- and Qt-particle induced reactions on natural krypton, the (p,4n) reaction on Rb and the spallation of molybdenum with high energy protons. In practice, however, the " Rb(p,xn) Sr process is commonly used, and the major quantity of Sr is presently produced at intermediate energy accelerators (cf. Waters and Goursey 1987 Philipps et al. 2000).
