Abstract

Abstract From acidified sodium molybdate solutions mixtures of two polymolybdates are precipitated by addition of tetraphenylphosphonium ions. The pure compounds obtainable by separation with selective organic solvents were identified analytically and by their vibrational spectra as octamolybdate, [P(C6H5)4]4Mo8O26, with "Lindqvist structure" and as hexamolybdate, [P(C6H5)4MO6019. They are characterized by their UV-VIS spectra and X-ray powder patterns. The precipitation of the hexamolybdate from strong acidic solution can be used analytically for the determination of molybdenum.
