Abstract

Pt-catalyzed hydrogen reduction of MoS2 and WS2 at 1000-1050°C yields new metal-rich sulfides M21S8 and M14S5 (M =Mo or W). The reduction of MoS2 proceeds via the intermediate Mo6S8. Chevrel phases, CuxMo6S8(x < 4.0) and Ni2Mo6S8, are readily prepared by hydrogen reduction of MoS2 in the presence of the ternary metal.
