MOLYBDENUM DIALKYLDITHIOCARBAMATE COMPOSITIONS AND LUBRICATING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

Thie invention relates to a novel asymmetrical, secondary dialkylamine-based molybdenum dithiocarbamate with improved friction reducing performance, viscosity and solubility, and lubricating compositions containing the same. The compounds are produced from asymmetrical dialkylamine of the formula R1-NH-R2 where Rl and R2 are different, and are independently selected from alkyl groups C3 to C 19. In a preferred embodiment, R3 and R4 are different and are independently selected from alkyl groups C3 to C 19. The molybdenum dithiocarbamates can be represented by the following formula.
