Molybdenum trioxide is chemical compound with the formula MoO₃. This compound is produced on the largest scale of any molybdenum compound. It occurs as the rare mineral molybdite. Its chief application is as an oxidation catalyst and as a raw material for the production of molybdenum metal. The oxidation state of molybdenum in this compound is +6.

Detailed description

Uses

Molybdenum trioxide is used to manufacture molybdenum metal, which serves as an additive to steel and corrosion-resistant alloys. The relevant conversion entails treatment of MoO₃ with hydrogen at elevated temperatures:

MoO₃ + 3 H₂ → Mo + 3 H₂O

It is also a component of the co-catalyst used in the industrial production of acrylonitrile by the oxidation of propene and ammonia.

Because of its layered structure and the ease of the Mo(VI)/Mo(V) coupling, MoO₃ is of interest in electrochemical devices and displays.^[5] Molybdenum trioxide has also been suggested as a potential anti-microbial agent, e.g., in polymers. In contact with water, it forms H⁺ ions that can kill bacteria effectively.^[6] However, the issue of keeping the catalyst clean in an environment that would exploit such antimicrobial properties has not been explored.
