Spectrophotometric molybdenum determination with thiolactic acid

Talanta. 1972 Mar;19(3):366-9. doi: 10.1016/0039-9140(72)80089-4.

Abstract

A quick, selective method for molybdenum(VI) is based on the formation of a yellow thiolactic acid complex. The complex is formed at pH 1.0-1.6, and the absorbance is measured at 365 nm.
