Abstract: | Coordination and Extraction of Molybdenum(VI) with Bidentate Ligands A series of bidentate ligands as well as their thio derivatives from the groups of 8-quinolinols, β-diketones, acylpyrazolones, and N-acyl-phenylhydroxylamines was studied for the ability to extract molybdenum(VI) from heptamolybdate. The extraction principally runs only in acidic medium, sulfur-containing extractants having no advantage. The composition of the complexes was determined by the isolation of compounds in the solid state and also by the interpretation of distribution data. |
