Die Isopolymolybdationen in wäßrigen Medien im Bereich Z ≦ 1,14 / Concerning Isopolymolybdate Ions in Aqueous Media in the Range Z ≦ 1.14

Abstract

The system H+/MoO4 2- was investigated by Raman spectroscopy in the range Z = 0 to 1.14 at initial concentrations CMoO₄ 2- = 0.02 to 2M and concentrations of the ionic medium CMe+ = 2CMoO₄ 2- to 3M Me(Cl,NO3) (Me=Li, Na, K,NH4 , Mg/2). The mole-ratio method and intensity difference diagrams do not indicate any species between MoO4 2- and Mo7O24 6- contrary to propositions in recent papers. A detailed evaluation of the extensive data shows the possible portion of such species to be < 3 % , this value having a statistical certainty of 95%. Comparing the solutions having Z = 1.1 by fingerprint procedures, in all cases Mo7O24 6- is the first main product (detectable by static methods) irrespective of the nature and concentration of the ionic medium. Thus, Mg2+ ions do not influence the course of aggregation of molybdate ions as has been proposed in the literature. This is in accordance with theoretical investigations since the Mo7O24 6- ion has the distinction of a number of favourable structural parameters in the system that become operative in case of scarcity of H+ ions.
