Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is typically a black or dark gray solid. It has a layered structure, so it can appear shiny or metallic when viewed in certain forms, such as flakes or powders.
In bulk form, it can appear more matte. Due to its unique properties, MoS₂ is often used in lubricants, catalysts, and various electronic applications.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is generally insoluble in water and most organic solvents.
It is a solid that does not dissolve in common solvents, which is one of the reasons why it is used as a lubricant and in various industrial applications.
However, it can be dispersed in certain solvents or used in colloid form, but this does not mean that it has true solubility.
