Preparation and reactions
Molybdenum(VI) chloride is prepared from the molybdenum hexafluoride with excess boron trichloride:
- MoF6 + 3 BCl3 → MoCl6 + 3 BF2Cl
It is unstable at room temperature with respect to molybdenum(V) chloride and decomposition completes within several days:
- 2 MoCl6 → [MoCl5]2 + Cl2

gollark: The funny thing is that Dan200 still talks about how great it is on his twitter while ignoring it.
gollark: Are you expecting it to sleep before or after loadImage runs?
gollark: ... Perhaps I should make a Krist API which does not force you into using Jua and all the other random nonsense... hmm...
gollark: I don't remember exactly but checking for payments and stuff is generally done via subscribing to transactions and checking for ones with the right address. And there's a sendTransaction or something function.
