Abstract Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), one of Transition metal chalcogenides, possess a wide range of interesting physical properties and have many applications in solid lubricants, lithium-battery cathodes, and photovoltaic solar cells. MoS2 can also be used as a catalyst (e.g. in hydrogen evolution reactions) due to its high-energy crystal edges. Petroleum reserves are limited, and demand for low-boiling liquid fractions is steadily increasing. There is a growing interest in hydro-cracking technology for decomposing heavy oil to obtain light oil. Various molybdenum compounds are expected to be converted to MoS2 as hydrocracking catalysts to change heavy oil to light oil. However, the materials developed as catalyst so far have a low miscibility with heavy oil and a low ratio liquid product. Accordingly, we studied molybdenum(IV) precursors having dithiocarbamate ligands with long alkyl chain for increasing miscibility with heavy oil and providing sulfur to conversion process.
