12-Molybdophosphoric acid hydrate is used as a precursor to hybrid organic-inorganic based molecular batteries with application as cation-insertion electrode. It finds application as an analytical reagent in thin layer chromatography for staining phenolics, hydrocarbon waxes, alkaloids and steroids. It acts as a reactant for the preparation of catalysts for the nitration of aromatic compounds, highly dispersed MoOx/CNTs (carbon nanotubes) as a support for Pt catalysts and anchored Wilkinson catalyst.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
