We are planning to study a redox behavior of element 106, seaborgium (Sg) based on the comparison of the behaviors with those of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W). In this work, we studied solvent extraction behaviors of Mo(VI), Mo(V), W(VI), and W(V) with Aliquat 336 from hydrochloric acid (HCl). Mo(V) is extracted with higher distribution ratios than those of Mo(VI) in 4 to 11 M HCl. Distribution ratios of Mo(V) obtained by reducing Mo(VI) electrochemically are in good agreement with those of [MoCl].
