Formation of Molybdenum Blues Particles via the Reduction of Molybdate Solutions with Hydroquinone

Аннотация

Dispersions of molybdenum blues have been synthesized by reducing a molybdate with hydroquinone in an acidic medium. Spectrophotometry and photon-correlation spectroscopy have been employed to study the formation regularities of molybdenum blues particles (large molybdenum oxide clusters) under the conditions of varied reductant/molybdate ratio and dispersion medium pH.
