Description

Dichlorobis(cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum is a versatile organometallic compound and a key precursor in advanced materials science and catalysis. This compound matters for its role as a fundamental building block in the synthesis of molybdenum-based catalysts and as a starting material for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of olefin metathesis, organic synthesis, and thin-film material deposition.

Application

• Catalyst Precursor: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing homogeneous and heterogeneous molybdenum catalysts used in olefin metathesis and polymerization reactions.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Used as a volatile molybdenum source for depositing thin films of molybdenum, molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2), or molybdenum-containing coatings on substrates.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in laboratory-scale reactions for the formation of molybdenum-carbon bonds and the development of novel organometallic complexes.
• Material Science Research: A critical reagent for academic and industrial R&D focused on developing new catalytic systems and advanced inorganic materials.
• Polymer Industry: Investigated for use in catalyst systems for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclic olefins.

Quality Control

Our Dichlorobis(cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including spectroscopic analysis and purity assays. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to ensure compliance with your research and production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent decomposition.
