Abstract
A high-nuclearity carboxylic-modified heteropolyoxovanadate, Na2K10H15[P8VIV24(tart)15(H2O)15(OH)O51]·58H2O [1, tart = C4H2O6], has been successfully synthesized by a conventional aqueous method under mild conditions. The crystallographic study reveals that compound 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal I41/a space group and is composed by a trilayer saddle-like polyoxoanion {P8V24}. Two {V3(tart)(H2O)O11} as linking units bridge the top {P4VIV9(tart)7(H2O)4(OH)O23} and the bottom {P4VIV9(tart)6(H2O)9O22} layers via tartrate ligands and {PO4} tetrahedra, resulting in a 24-nuclearity POV skeleton structure. More interestingly, compound 1 serves as a heterogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of diphenylmethanes with 96.2% conversion and 93.6% selectivity under the optimized conditions.
