Complexes of Molybdenum in Zero Valent State

Several complexes of molybdenum in zero valent state were synthesized and characterized on the basis of physico-chemical analysis and spectroscopic methods. Molybdenum can exist in different oxidation states such as -2, 0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 and +6. In this paper authors wish to report the synthesis and characterization of molybdenum complexes in zero valent state stabilized by reductive nitrosylation in aqueous-aerobic medium. In these synthesis, higher valence state of molybdenum have been reduced to lower valence state by nitrosylation.
