New dry, or non-aqueous, processes for the extraction and purification of molybdenum from uranium are described. These processes rely on the separation of molybdenum and uranium fluorides from one another; exploiting the differences in their chemical or physical properties. They open a new route for the separation of Mo-99/Tc-99m – the most used radionuclide in medicine – from irradiated U-targets. In addition, the synthesis and characterization of MoF5, MoOF4, and WF5 and of compounds having the general formulas A[MoF6] (A = Li – Cs), and A[M2O2F9] (A = Li – Cs, M = Mo, W) are reported.
