The cocondensation reactions of molybdenum trioxide vapor with
tetraalkoxysilanes, trimethylalkoxysilanes, and hexamethyldisiloxane
at -196°C were investigated. The products from the metal vapor
reactions of tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, and tetrapropoxysilane
were characterized as molybdenum(VI)dioxodialkoxy compounds. The isolated compounds were found to be polymeric in the
solid state by bridging through alkoxide groups....
