Application	Ammonium octamolybdate is a molybdenum-based coordination compound used as a modifier for its flame-retardant properties, such as in the patented preparation of flame retardant and wear-resistant foamed asphalt. After modification of ammonium octamolybdate from its cluster geometry to a one-dimensional coordination polymer, ammonium octamolybdate is used as an olefin epoxidation catalyst.
Storage	Room temperature
