Abstract:
A flexible one-pot strategy with pyramidal SeIV heteroatoms was employed for the assembly of the praseodymium-containing gly-decorated polyoxotungstate [{Pr3 (H2 O)10 [Se2 W22 O76 (gly)2 ]}2 (Se2 W7 O30 H2 )]18- (1 a), which is constructed from one {Se2 W7 O30 H2 } unit and two identical {Pr3 (H2 O)10 [Se2 W22 O76 (gly)2 ]} units. Furthermore, the catalytic performance of Cs2 Na4 H12 [{Pr3 (H2 O)10 [Se2 W22 O76 (gly)2 ]}2 (Se2 W7 O30 H2 )]⋅25 H2 O (1) for alkene epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide was investigated under mild reaction conditions, and the experimental results suggested that compound 1 exhibits good catalytic performance for the epoxidation of cyclooctene.
