Organo-molybdenum compounds

These organo-molybdenum compounds are in commercial use, for example as friction-modifiers. Their mechanism of action is considered in Chapter 9, in connection with the in situ production of molybdenum disulphide films.

Support-bound transition metal complexes have mainly been prepared as insoluble catalysts. Table 4.1 lists representative examples of such polymer-bound complexes. Polystyrene-bound molybdenum carbonyl complexes have been prepared for the study of ligand substitution reactions and oxidative eliminations [51], Moreover, well-defined molybdenum, rhodium, and iridium phosphine complexes have been prepared on copolymers of PEG and silica [52]. Several reviews have covered the preparation and application of support-bound reagents, including transition metal complexes [53-59]. Examples of the preparation and uses of organomercury and organo-zinc compounds are discussed in Section 4.1.

Considerable doubt and controversy exist about the mechanism of action of a number of other molybdenum compounds or mixtures in lubrication, and in particular about whether their action involves in situ formation of molybdenum disulphide. Braithwaite has stated that one of the reasons for the development of soluble molybdenum compounds was that it "was thought by some (erroneously) that Organo-molybdenum sulphur compounds would decompose to M0S2 which would then provide lubrication." Nevertheless Braithwaite goes on to refer to several other authors, such as Feng et al , Isoyama and Sakurai , and Yamamoto et al , all of whom maintain that they have shown the formation of molybdenum disulphide from organo-molybdenum sulphur compounds. Similar results have been reported by... 

Many different organo-molybdenum sulphur compounds have been studied in this context, and some are listed in Table 9.7. All those listed have been found to have friction-reducing, anti-wear or extreme-pressure properties, and it is significant that several authors have reported that the presence of sulphur is essential. 

Use Chlorination catalyst, vapor-deposited molybdenum coatings, component of fire-retardant resins, brazing and soldering flux, intermediate for organo-metallic compounds, e.g., molybdenum hexacar-bonyl.

The bio-availabilities of these elements through the gastrointestinal tract vary markedly. Molybdenum, iodine, fluorine, and arsenic are apparently highly bio-available, whereas medium uptake occurs with haem iron, cobalt, zinc, chromium in the presence of a glucose tolerance factor, selenium, either as selenate or as organo selenium compounds, whereas only low bio-availability is experienced with non-haem iron,... 

Different procedures may be used to prepare such samples as impregnation of silica with a molybdate salt or grafting molybdenum chloride or molybdenum based organo metallic compounds as Mo carbonyls on the hydroxyl groups of silica or at last solid-solid reaction between M0O3 and Si02 at temperatures near or above 500°C. 

Various Ziegler-Natta and ROMP caalysts based on group IV-VIII transition metal salts showed to be very active and selective in the polymerization of both exo-and ew(7o-dicyclopentadiene [151-155]. Thus, binary Ziegler-Natta systems derived from chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten halides associated with organo-aluminum compounds form addition and ring-opened polymers [Eq. (94)].
