It has few uses, and generally appears as an impurity in ] (in the nuclear industry) or ] (in the semiconductor industry; WF<sub>6</sub> is used for ] of tungsten); it can be removed from the latter by reduction of a WF<sub>6</sub>-MoF<sub>6</sub> mixture with any of a number of elements including molybdenum at moderately elevated temperature.<ref>US-Patent 5234679: , 10.

In liquid and gas phase, MoF<sub>6</sub> adopt ] with ] '']''. The Mo–F ] is 1.817&nbsp;Å.<ref name="D_BLOCK_XF6"/>

== Applications ==
Molybdenum hexafluoride has few uses. In the nuclear industry, MoF<sub>6</sub> occurs as an impurity in ] since molybdenum is a ] of ].

The ] constructs various ] through ] of molybdenum hexafluoride.<ref name=KO /> In some cases, the deposited molybdenum is an impurity in the intended ].
