Description

ORGANIC MOLYBDENUM COMPOUNDS AND LUBRICATING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING SAID COMPOUNDS
The invention relates to novel organic molybdenum compounds, the use thereof as friction-modifiers and lubricating compositions which contain said compounds.
Friction-modifiers (friction-adjusting agents) are used for adjusting the friction characteristics of a lubricant to an appropriate level. Friction-modifiers which reduce friction are used in lubricating compositions such as gear oils and engine oils with a view to reducing fuel costs. Friction-modifiers which raise friction are used for maintaining a certain high friction level in the lubricating compositions which are used in the wet-type clutch part of an automatic gear box. Many types of such friction-modifiers have been proposed. The organic molybdenum compounds are the most typical of these friction-modifiers and, as shown in "Shinban Sekiyu Seihin Tenkasai" (New Edition, Additives for Petroleum Products), by Toshio SAKURAI, Saiwai Shobo Co., published 25th July, 1986, these organic molybdenum compounds are compounds which have two molybdenum atoms in one molecule as shown in formulae (2) and (3) below.

(Process 1]
Na2MoO4 + 2 NaS2CNEt2 + 4 HCl
→ MoO2(Et2NCSz)2 + 2 H2O + 4 NaCl
Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (5.0 g, 0.02 mol) and sodium molybdate (2.7 g, 0.01 mol) were added to a 500 ml pear-shaped flask and dissolved in 50 ml of water. Then 0.04 mol of dilute hydrochloric acid (4 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid added to water and made up to a total of 300 ml) was added dropwise from a dropping funnel over a period of about 2 hours, after which the precipitated material obtained was recovered by suction filtration and washed thoroughly with water, ethanol and diethyl ether and then dried. The crystals obtained were refined by recrystallization twice from dichloromethane/n-hexane and the diethyldithiocarbamate oxo-molybdenum complex was obtained in an 85% yield. This compound is a yellow-brown coloured powder. (Process 2)
