Ultrathin Anionic Tungstophosphite Molecular Wire with Tunable Hydrophilicity and Catalytic Activity for Selective Epoxidation in Organic Media

Ultrathin Anionic Tungstophosphite Molecular Wire with Tunable Hydrophilicity and Catalytic Activity for Selective Epoxidation in Organic Media
Wataru Ueda, Zhenxin Zhang, Michikazu Hara, Masahiro Sadakane
Self-assembly of a central HPIIIO3 with six surrounding WO6 octahedra forms tungstophosphite polyoxometalate units, [HPIIIW6O21]2−. The polyoxometalate units linearly polymerize under hydrothermal conditions, eventually forming 1D molecular wires with a diameter of 1.2 nm. Surface modification with organoammonium cation enables the molecular wires to disperse in organic solvents. The dispersed ultrathin molecular wire acts as an efficient catalyst for olefin epoxidation. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Z. Zhang, W. Ueda et al.
