Abstract

Green chemistry also offers enhanced chemical process economics concomitant with a reduced environmental burden. Green sustainable chemistry (GSC) is, in a word, chemistry and chemical technology for environmentally friendly products and processes. Heteropolyacids (HPAs) have several advantages as catalysts which make them economically and environmentally attractive. Basic characteristics of HPAs as green catalysts are overviewed, focusing on the various reaction fields in which the HPA catalysts function as acid. Herein, we present the very latest developments from synthesis to structure and function of polyoxometalates (POMs) and the synthesis of heterocyclic and organic chemistry compounds by using POMs and HPAs.
