Bis(cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(IV) dichloride
Bis(cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(IV) dichloride (CAS 12184-22-4), also known as molybdocene dichloride, is an organometallic bent-metallocene complex with the formula C10H10Cl2Mo and a molecular weight of 297.03 g/mol. In it, a molybdenum(IV) centre is bound by two cyclopentadienyl rings and two chloride ligands. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it at 95% assay as a research-grade reagent for organometallic synthesis, catalysis studies and as a molybdenum precursor in materials chemistry.

Organometallic synthesis
Serves as a defined molybdenum(IV) metallocene building block in organometallic and coordination chemistry. The reactive Mo–Cl bonds allow ligand substitution to access a range of derivatised molybdocene complexes.
Catalysis and inorganic chemistry research
Used as a starting material and reference complex in catalysis and inorganic chemistry studies. It supports investigation of molybdenum-centred reactivity and structure–activity relationships.
Molybdenum precursor for materials science
Of interest as a molecular source of molybdenum in materials science and thin-film research. It is referenced among vapour-deposition (CVD/ALD) precursor chemistries for molybdenum-containing layers.
Laboratory reagent
Functions as a reagent for general chemical synthesis where a bent-metallocene molybdenum complex is required. Suited to method development and small-scale research preparations.
