Preparation of molybdenum (II) salts?


Hi! I was looking for a way to synthesise Molybdenum (II) salts that doesn't require high temperatures, high pressures or toxic and volatile chemicals... specifically I'm looking to synthesis Molybdenum (II) acetate but so far the only method I've found involves toxic Mo(CO)6... I would use that method, but I don't have any experience working with metal carbonyls.

I have access to powdered molybdenum metal and tons of molybdenum trioxide.
Any ideas on this? Or any comment about working with metal carbonyls?

Thanks in advance guys

No experience or specific knowledge to give you here. But you may find some useful leads in this recent thread. http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=38280

This was really helpful. I'm going to try this. Thank you.
Though, still. Does anyone have worked with metal carbonyls before? I can always check literature for procedures and everything but still I would like to hear if someone could share their experience on this.

I have worked with them, but only in professional (or near-professional) labs. And that was a long time ago.



Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.
