Phosphomolybdic acid is the heteropolymetalate with the formula H3[Mo12PO40]·12H2O. It is a yellow solid, although even slightly impure samples have a greenish coloration. It is also known as dodeca molybdophosphoric acid or PMA, is a yellow-green chemical compound that is freely soluble in water and polar organic solvents such as ethanol. It is used as a stain in histology and in organic synthesis.[2]

Histology

Phosphomolybdic acid is a component of Masson's trichrome stain.[3]

Organic synthesis

Phosphomolybdic is used as a stain for developing thin-layer chromatography plates,[4] staining phenolics, hydrocarbon waxes, alkaloids, and steroids. Conjugated unsaturated compounds reduce PMA to molybdenum blue. The color intensifies with increasing number of double bonds in the molecule being stained.[5]

Phosphomolybdic acid is also occasionally used in acid-catalyzed reactions in organic synthesis. It has been shown to be a good catalyst for the Skraup reaction for the synthesis of substituted quinolines.[6]
