Molybdenum chemistry

Coordination chemistry

Molybdenum is capable of forming stable complexes and bonding with other atoms or molecules via covalent or ionic bonds. These complexes have important applications in fields such as catalysis, organic synthesis and materials science, and provide the basis for the design of new functional materials.

Isotopes

Molybdenum (Mo) is a metallic element with abundant isotopes, of which the stable isotopes include , , and molybdenum, each of which occupies a portion of the molybdenum in nature. The nuclear composition of these stable isotopes provides the basis for a variety of applications, from stable isotope tracing to materials analysis. At the same time, molybdenum has a number of radioisotopes, such as and , which play a role in areas such as medical imaging, nuclear reactions and radiotracing.
