Summary The peroxidation of molybdenum(VI) was investigated in neutral and alkaline media. The stability constants of the peroxo complexes were determined by spectrophotometric measurement as (9.12±0.67)×10−7, (2.68±0.17) ×105, (1.26±0.06)×106 and (1.58±0.02) for the 1∶1, 2∶1 (yellow), 3∶1 and 4∶1 (red) species. The diperoxomolybdate disproportionates into the tetraperoxo derivative when treated with alkali. Formation of the tetraperoxo complex was found to be pH dependent according to a curve, with maximum at pH 10. Acidification of tetraperoxomolybdate solution results in the regeneration of hydrogen peroxide and the diperoxo complex is reformed.
