Abstract
![CDATA[Molybdates are compounds containing negatively charged oxymolybdenum ions. For the most part, mineralogically, the simple tetraoxomolybdate(VI), or molybdate ion, MoO42−, is present. Under acid conditions, molybdate ions polymerize and this process can incorporate other chemical entities. Resulting heteropolymolybdates are represented in the mineral kingdom, but are rare.]]
