Kinetic determination of the energies of the bonds between the reacting atoms of organic molecules and the surface of blue molybdenum oxide

Abstract

1. A kinetic method has been used to find the energies of the bonds between organogens and the surface of MoO3-x. They have turned out to be close to the bond energies already found in MoO2 and MoS2, indicating that the bond energies are those for the bond between the organogen and the metal in the oxide. 2. For all the reactions studied, a logarithmic relation is satisfied between the constants in the Arrhenius equation.
