A large
mass-dependent isotope fractionation of molybdenum (Mo)
during its adsorption on marine ferromanganese oxides, which are mixtures
of iron (Fe) (oxyhydr)oxide and manganese (Mn) oxide, is most likely
caused by a geometrical change from tetrahedral (Td) to distorted
octahedral (Oh) during adsorption based on X-ray absorption fine structure
(XAFS) spectroscopy. However, the understanding of such fractionation
can be enhanced further. In this study, density functional theory
(DFT) calculations were conducted to examine models of distorted Oh
species on Mn oxide which are related to our proposed adsorption mechanism
of molybdate. Results showed that even monomeric adsorbed species
can reasonably explain highly distorted geometries observed by XAFS
spectroscopy with large isotope fractionation. This finding indicates
that the formation of polymolybdate, such as heptamolybdate, under
circumneutral experimental condition (pH ∼ 8) at low Mo concentration
in seawater is not required to explain the experimental results. Two
elemental properties of Mo(VI), namely d0 electron configuration
and appropriate ionic radius, led to the formation of its distorted
Oh adsorbed species based on the observation of highly distorted adsorbed
species with DFT calculation results. This finding indicates that
molybdate adsorption on Mn oxide occurs via addition reaction, which
can explain the following natural phenomena: (i) Mn oxide is the host
phase of molybdate in marine ferromanganese oxides, although most
negatively charged ions are preferentially adsorbed on Fe (oxyhydr)oxides.
(ii) The large isotope fractionation of Mo is observed during its
adsorption on natural ferromanganese oxides through the formation
of distorted Oh adsorbed species on Mn oxide.
