Molybdophosphoric Acid

Phosphomolybdic Acid is bright yellow crystal(s) [CRC10]

Phosphomolybdic Acid is a reagent used for spectrophotometric determination of phosphate ions.

Reactant for preparation of:

• Catalysts for the nitration of aromatic compounds
• Highly dispersed MoOx/CNTs (carbon nanotubes) as a support for Pt catalysts
• Reduced molybdophosphate mixed-valence Keggin clusters
• Polyoxometalate (POM) hybrid materials based on Keggin polyanion building blocks
• Luminescent Langmuir-Blodgett films
• Anchored Wilkinson catalyst

Phosphomolybdic acid hydrate may be used in the synthesis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites with potential application as electrodes for sodium ion battery. It may also be used as a catalyst precursor in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as oxidant for the dibenzothiophenes oxidation in diesel fuels.

Phosphomolybdic acid hydrate (PAH) is yellow and crystallisable compound. It precipitates from potash, oxides of rubidium, caesium and thallium, ammonia and other nitrogenous organic alkaloids.
