Abstract
Speciation of Mo(VI) in chloride media (0.5–11 M HCl) at elevated Mo concentrations (0.1–300 mM Mo) was investigated using UV spectroscopy. In addition to five major monomeric species, H2MoO4, H3MoO4+, H3MoO4Cl, MoO2Cl2, and MoO2Cl3–, chemometric analysis of UV spectra suggests the presence of three cationic dinuclear species that predominate in solutions of 1–4.5 M HCl at >20 mM Mo concentrations. Thermodynamic values and molar absorptivity spectra were calculated from UV spectrophotometric data using refined numerical methods. The stability constants determined for three Mo dimers are log β = 3.53 ± 0.05 (H2Mo2O52+), log β = 3.60 ± 0.04 (H3Mo2O53+), and log β = 2.91 ± 0.03 (H3Mo2O6Cl2+).
