Description

Molybdenum (V) Isopropoxide is a high-purity metal-organic compound used as a versatile precursor in advanced materials synthesis. Its primary value lies in delivering molybdenum in a soluble, reactive form suitable for controlled deposition processes. This chemical is essential for R&D and production in the electronics, catalysis, and specialty glass industries where precise material composition is critical.

Application

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) & Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A key precursor for depositing molybdenum oxide (MoOx) thin films in semiconductor devices, solar cells, and electrochromic coatings.
• Sol-Gel Processing: Used to synthesize high-purity molybdenum oxide nanoparticles, gels, and mixed-metal oxides for catalytic and sensor applications.
• Catalysis Research: Serves as a catalyst precursor or catalyst support modifier for oxidation, epoxidation, and metathesis reactions.
• Specialty Glass & Ceramics: Acts as a doping agent to modify the electrical, optical, and thermal properties of glass and ceramic matrices.
• Polymer Additive: Imparts flame-retardant or smoke-suppressant properties when incorporated into specific polymer systems.
• Surface Modification: Used to create functional coatings on various substrates to alter surface energy, adhesion, or corrosion resistance.

Quality Control

Our Molybdenum (V) Isopropoxide is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for sensitive applications like thin-film deposition. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metal content, and solvent residues is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Always handle in a controlled, moisture-free environment such as a glovebox or under a positive pressure of inert gas.
