Abstract

AbstractA correlation is developed for relating Raman stretching frequencies of molybdenum–oxygen (MoO) bonds to their respective bond distances in molybdenum oxide compounds. MoO bond orders are also related to stretching frequencies. The MoO correlation is expected to offer invaluable insight into the structures of molybdate species in chemical systems which are not amenable to analysis by diffraction or other spectroscopic techniques. In the present study, the correlation is used to predict stretching frequencies for perfect MoO4 and MoO6 structures, and to determine MoO bond distances of the MoO6 octahedron in Ba2CaMoO6 as well as the dehydrated surface molybdate species in MoO3/Al2O3.
