Abstract
Storage stable solutions of molybdenum/alkanol complexes in the alkanol are prepared by reacting an ammonium molybdate with an amount of a straight chain or branched chain C.sub.6 -C.sub.13 alkanol, within the range of about 7 to about 20 moles of alkanol per gram atom of molybdenum sufficient to form a storage stable molybdenum/alkanol complex. The complex-forming reaction is initiated in the presence of about 1 to about 4 moles of added water per gram atom of molybdenum and is conducted at a temperature of about 120.degree. to about 190.degree. C. for a period of time, normally about 3 to about 8 hours, sufficient to substantially completely remove ammonia and water to provide a liquid reaction product comprising said solution of molybdenum/alkanol complex dissolved in unreacted alkanol and containing about 0.001 to about 0.1 wt. % of water. The reaction product is filtered to provide a clarified storage stable solution of the molybdenum/alkanol complex.
