Molybdenum monoxide (MoO) is a transition metal oxide ceramic combining molybdenum and oxygen in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. It belongs to the family of refractory metal oxides and has drawn research interest for its potential in catalysis, electronics, and high-temperature applications due to molybdenum's strong metal-ligand bonding and variable oxidation states. While less common than molybdenum dioxide (MoO₂) or molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃) in established industrial use, MoO is primarily investigated in academic and applied research contexts for catalytic processes and as a precursor or intermediate phase in molybdenum oxide systems.
