Abstract
The chemical effects of Mo-98(n,gamma)Mo-99 reaction on molybdenum(II) chloride [(Mo6Clg)Cl4] have been studied. Retention, thermal and radi olytical annealing were determined. It was found that this molybdenum compound has low retention, a negligible tendency to thermal annealing and a virtual insensitivity to hydrolysis. For practical application in the enrichment of Mo-99 by the Shilard-Chalmers method, molybdenum( II) chloride [(Mo6Cl8)Cl4] appears to offer good prospects.
