- On the Unexpected Cathodic Electrodimerization of Phenyl Vinyl Sulphone in slightly Protic Media: the Formation of 1,4-Bisphenylsulphonylbut-2-ene
-
Phenyl vinyl sulphone exhibits unusual cathodic behaviour in organic media containing a small excess of a proton donor such as acetic acid or phenol; both the saturated sulphone and an unsaturated dimer are isolated, the formation of which may be explained by hydrogen atom transfer between the organic free radicals formed at the interface.

- Surface decorated magnetic nanoparticles with Mn-porphyrin as an effective catalyst for oxidation of sulfides
-
Mn-porphyrin complex was anchored coordinatively to silica-coated surface of magnetic nanoparticles (SMNP). Afterward, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2-MnTCPP) has been characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). A thermal stability up to around 350°C was verified for prepared nanocatalyst based on thermogravimetric analysis. Finally, the catalytic performance of magnetically recoverable Mn-catalyst was exploited in the green oxidation of different sulfides with urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in the presence of imidazole as co-catalyst in ethanol under heterogeneous conditions. The eco-friendly property of ethanol strongly induced us to employ it as the reaction solvent in this oxidation system. Complete conversion (≥99) of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfones was obtained for ethyl phenyl sulfide, phenyl vinyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, thiocyanatoethane, 2-ethyl mercaptoethanol and tetrahydrothiophene. Moreover, the recovered catalysts keep constant conversion yield up to at least three cycles.

- Highly Selective Hydrogenation of C═C Bonds Catalyzed by a Rhodium Hydride
-
Under mild conditions (room temperature, 80 psi of H2) Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of the C═C bond in α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, including natural product precursors with bulky substituents in the β position and substrates possessing an array of additional functional groups. It also catalyzes the hydrogenation of many isolated double bonds. Mechanistic studies reveal that no radical intermediates are involved, and the catalyst appears to be homogeneous, thereby affording important complementarity to existing protocols for similar hydrogenation processes.

- Biocatalytic Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfones
-
This paper describes a method for the biocatalytic oxidation of sulfides. During the screening of microorganisms using pure cultures of bacteria and fungi for the oxidation of sulfides, it was observed that a number of strains of microorganisms, were able to oxidize various sulfides (1-4), but the desired sulfoxide was either not obtained or obtained only as a minor product. A close observation of the reaction showed complete oxidation and thus sulfone (5-8) formation had occurred in these cases. Sulfones are used to stabilize intermediates like α-radicals, α-anions etc. and also used as cationic synthons in many known reactions. This prompted us to explore the sulfone synthesis by biocatalytic route. Approximately 20% of the strains tested (400 bacterial and 200 fungal) showed the formation of sulfone with conversion rate varying from 3 to 100% based on TLC analysis. There were two strains of fungi, Aspergillus ochraceus MTCC 5245 and Penicillium Funiculosum MTCC 5246 which showed excellent biocatalytic activity for oxidation sulfides to corresponding sulfones in high yield. In all these strains, the product was different from corresponding standard sulfoxide prepared by oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid but well corresponded with the standard sample of sulfone prepared by oxidation of the corresponding sulfides with oxone. The identity of sulfones in all cases was confirmed by 1H NMR. Published by Oriental Scientific Publishing Company

- Metal-Free Synthesis of Sulfones and Sulfoxides through Aldehyde-Promoted Aerobic Oxidation of Sulfides
-
Metal-free aerobic oxidation of aryl sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones has been developed in the presence of aliphatic aldehydes with excellent selectivity and yields. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions with the catalysis of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI). Control experiments indicated that the reaction underwent a free radical pathway with the acylperoxyl radicals generated from aldehydes in situ as the key intermediates. The aromatic aldehydes were less efficient in the sulfide oxidation, which might be explained by the fact that the aromatic ring dispersed the electrons of free radicals and thus weakened the attacking ability of peroxy free radicals.

(Ln=NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII, TbIII, DyIII, HoIII, ErIII, TmIII, YbIII, and LuIII) have been synthesized by a single step reaction procedure. These clusters were characterized by various analytical techniques such as single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, high-resolution electro-spray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), solid UV/Vis, photoluminescence spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). All the polyanions are isostructural and consists of a lanthanide ion sandwiched between two units of (1,5) isomer of di-Zn substituted α-Keggin type tungstophosphate.

- Highly efficient and selective aqueous aerobic oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones catalyzed by tungstate-functionalized nanomaterial
-
A Br?nsted acidic ionic solid comrising tungstate-functionaized polyorganosiloxane framework (PMO-IL-WO42?) efficiently catalysed aerobic oxidation of sulfides in aqueous medium. The catalyst can selectively produce sulfoxides or sulfones by running the reaction at room temperature or 50 °C, respectively. Because of the ionic liquid-based charged surface containing hydrophobic organic functional groups and hydrophilic sulfonic acid group, the synergestic hydrophobic/hydrophilic and redox effect of PMO-IL-WO42- as water-friendly interfacial nanocatalyst simplifies and enhances the activity and selectivity toward the target sulfoxides or sulfones in water. Moreover, the PMO-IL-WO42- nanocatalyst exhibited outstanding stability and activity and can be recycled eight reaction runs without any significant activity and selectivity loss.

The polyoxoanion of 1 is a ring-shaped trimer where a Ti6O6 ({Ti6}) wheel cluster is encapsulated by three divacant [SiW10O37]10- (SiW10O37) fragments. However, 2 is built by two divacant SiW10O37 units and two rare trivacant [SiW9O35]12- (SiW9O35) fragments and further installs an unprecedented Ti10O11 ({Ti10}) double-wheel cluster. To the best of our knowledge, 2 is rare in POM chemistry. Studies on the catalytic oxidation properties reveal that 1 exhibits high catalytic activity toward the oxidation of various sulfides using H2O2 as an oxidant. Furthermore, 1 can be facilely recycled and reused for at least five cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity.

In hybrids (1) and (2), Ni(ii) cations are linked by L ligands to produce layered frameworks, and H bonds among the [PMo12O40]3?/[PW12O40]3?anions and L ligands lengthen the structures to form 3D supramolecular architectures. Hybrid (3) exhibits a 3D architecture, of which Ag(i) cations not only coordinated with the N and O atoms of L ligands and [PMo12O40]3?anions simultaneously, but also connected each other by Ag-Ag interactions.

- Green synthesis of a vanadium(V) Schiff base complex by grinding method: study on its catalytic and anti-bacterial activity
-
A facile protocol was developed for the green synthesis of a Schiff base and its vanadium(V) complex. The compounds were derived from salicylaldehyde, diethylenetriamine and vanadyl sulfate by applying grinding method to overcome environmental issues with solvents. The reactions took place rapidly and products were isolated pure. The compounds were characterized with elemental, EDX, mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, UV-vis, FTIR and NMR analysis. The synthesized vanadium(V) complex was an efficient and selective catalyst towards oxidation of organic sulfides and alcohols. The oxidation reactions were conducted under microwave irradiation as well as conventional heating. A reaction mechanism has been proposed for the catalytic oxidation reactions. The mechanism was further established by using GAUSSIAN16 suite. The complex also showed good anti-bacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

A simple and sustainable synergistic catalytic protocol by interfacing nanomicelles and metal nanoparticles (MNPs) is reported for C-S coupling reactions in water. The sugar-based surfactant GluM was synthesized by introducing a PEG chain to stabilize MNPs and self-assembled to form nanomicelles. Cu2O nanoparticles were generated via in situ reduction of copper salt in an aqueous solution of the sugar-based surfactant. The nature of the interaction between nanomicelles and Cu2O nanoparticles was revealed by XPS, XRD, in situ IR, TEM, and 1H NMR. A broad substrate scope with moderate to excellent yields was documented and the recycling of the GluM/Cu aqueous mixture was surprising.

- On the important transition of sugar-based surfactant as a microreactor for C-S coupling in water: From micelle to vesicle
-
A reversible, temperature-induced micelle-to-vesicle transition of a sugar-based pseudogemini surfactant (C11D12) was employed for copper-catalyzed C-S coupling in water. The phase behavior and morphology of the C11D12 aqueous solution were investigated by DLS and cryo-TEM. The aggregates undergo a series of transitions upon increasing the temperature: spherical micelles were initially transformed into large vesicles, but they eventually transformed into smaller vesicles. The vesicular catalytic protocol accommodates an excellent substrate scope with moderate to high yields. The mechanisms of temperature-induced aggregate transition and vesicular catalysis were elucidated by experimental results and DFT calculations. It was revealed that the charge layer of the vesicle grants stronger nucleophilicity to the PhSO2-Cu-D12Ga intermediate. Furthermore, the aqueous reaction medium can be recycled and reused several times after easily separating the precipitated product.

- Environmentally responsible, safe, and chemoselective catalytic hydrogenation of olefins: ppm level Pd catalysis in recyclable water at room temperature
-
Textbook catalytic hydrogenations are typically presented as reactions done in organic solvents and oftentimes under varying pressures of hydrogen using specialized equipment. Catalysts new and old are all used under similar conditions that no longer reflect the times. By definition, such reactions are both environmentally irresponsible and dangerous, especially at industrial scales. We now report on a general method for chemoselective and safe hydrogenation of olefins in water using ppm loadings of palladium from commercially available, inexpensive, and recyclable Pd/C, together with hydrogen gas utilized at 1 atmosphere. A variety of alkenes is amenable to reduction, including terminal, highly substituted internal, and variously conjugated arrays. In most cases, only 500 ppm of heterogeneous Pd/C is sufficient, enabled by micellar catalysis used in recyclable water at room temperature. Comparison with several newly introduced catalysts featuring base metals illustrates the superiority of chemistry in water.

We report the syntheses and structures of two new copper(ii)-containing tungstotellurates(vi) Na12[TeVI2W8O38Cu2(H2O)2]·7H2O (Te2W8Cu2) and Na6[TeVIW6O24Cu(NH2CH2CO2)2]·6H2O (TeW6Cu). The two compounds were synthesized by a simple one-pot method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), powder XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis in the solid state. Furthermore, their catalytic properties for the selective oxidation of thioethers were also studied systematically. The catalytic experiment results indicate that the tungstotellurate(vi) Te2W8Cu2 is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides or sulfones by an H2O2 oxidant at room temperature. Under the ambient conditions, Te2W8Cu2 can convert 99percent of methyl(phenyl)sulfane to sulfoxides or sulfones with 96percent or 99percent selectivity, respectively, and the utilization rate of H2O2 is up to 80percent. Furthermore, Te2W8Cu2 as a heterogeneous catalyst is stable in the reaction and could be reused at least five cycles with conserved activity.

- Selectivity switch in the aerobic oxygenation of sulfides photocatalysed by visible-light-responsive decavanadate
-
Nanometre-sized metal oxides are promising species for the development of visible-light-responsive photocatalysts for the selective transformation of organic functional groups. In this article, we report that decavanadate ([V10O28]6-, V10) behaved as an efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalyst in the product-selective oxygenation of sulfides achieved using O2 (1 atm) as the green oxidant. In particular, we revealed that visible-light-responsive photocatalysis of V10 showed remarkable activity for the oxygenation of structurally diverse sulfides to form the corresponding sulfones using O2 in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Furthermore, by simply adding water to the reaction mixture, the product selectivity of sulfide oxygenation can be significantly switched toward the production of sulfoxides, without concomitant loss of photocatalytic activity. Based on experimental evidence, we inferred the following mechanistic steps for this photocatalytic system: the aerobic oxygenation of sulfides to form the corresponding sulfoxides initiated by a visible-light-induced photoredox reaction of V10. As for the formation of sulfones, MEK-derived peroxide species as the co-catalysts are probably involved in the oxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfones. The selectivity switch of the V10-photocatalysed reaction brought about by water addition is most likely achieved by suppressing the formation of MEK-derived peroxide species. This journal is

We report a new mononuclear molybdenum(iv) complex, MoOLBISLSQ, in which LSQ (2,4-di-tert-butyl o-semibenzoquinone ligand) has been prepared from the reaction of the o-iminosemibenzoquinone form of a tridentate non-innocent benzoxazole ligand, LBIS, and MoO2(acac)2. The complex was characterized by X-ray crystallography, elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure of MoOLBISLSQ revealed a distorted octahedral geometry around the metal centre, surrounded by one O and two N atoms of LBIS and two O atoms of LSQ. The effective magnetic moment (μeff) of MoOLBISLSQ decreased from 2.36 to 0.2 μB in the temperature range of 290 to 2 K, indicating a singlet ground state caused by antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal and ligand centred unpaired electrons. Also, the latter led to the EPR silence of the complex. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies indicate both ligand and metal-centered redox processes. MoOLBISLSQ was applied as a catalyst for the oxidative cleavage of cyclohexene to adipic acid and selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfones with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. This journal is

- Efficient Catalytic Oxidative Desulfurization toward Thioether and Sulfur Mustard Stimulant by Polyoxomolybdate-Resorcin[4]arene-Based Metal-Organic Materials
-
The design and synthesis of effective and recyclable oxidative desulfurization catalysts is of great importance in view of environmental protection and human health. Herein, a family of polyoxomolybdate-based inorganic-organic hybrid materials, namely, [Mn(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (1), [Ni(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (2), [Zn(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (3), and [Co2(TMR4A)2(H2O)4(β-Mo8O26)]·CH3CN·12H2O (4), were assembled by the functionalized resorcin[4]arene ligand (TMR4A) with polyoxomolybdate and metal ions under solvothermal conditions. In isostructural 1-3, the [M(TMR4A)(H2O)4]2+ species (M = MnII, NiII, ZnII) and [Mo6O19]2- anions are held together via C-H···O hydrogen bonds to give a 3D supramolecular architecture. In 4, two [Co(TMR4A)(H2O)2]2+ cations were linked by one [β-Mo8O26]4- anion to produce an attractive molecular dimer. Remarkably, 1-4, as recyclable heterogeneous catalysts, exhibit efficient catalytic oxidation desulfurization activities toward thioethers. Particularly, 1, as a representative example, features selective catalytic oxidation for sulfur mustard simulant. Moreover, their electrochemical properties were also studied.

- Easy-handling and low-leaching heterogeneous palladium and platinum catalysts via coating with a silicone elastomer
-
We have developed a practical protocol for coating of commercial Pd/Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 catalysts in micro-powders with a silicone elastomer. Compared to original catalysts, the treated catalysts are easier to weight and transfer, and they are easier to recover by simple filtration. More importantly, the metal leaching of treated catalysts was significantly reduced. The treated catalysts worked very well in diverse hydrogenation reactions.

- Water-soluble polymer anchored peroxotitanates as environmentally clean and recyclable catalysts for mild and selective oxidation of sulfides with H2O2 in water
-
Anchoring of peroxotitanium (pTi) species to linear water-soluble acrylic acid based polymers, poly(sodium acrylate) (PA) and poly(sodium methacrylate) (PMA) led to the successful synthesis of a pair of new, water-tolerant and recyclable catalysts of the type [Ti2(O2)2O2(OH)2]4-—L (L = PA or PMA), highly effective in chemoselective sulfoxidation of organic sulfides with 30% H2O2 in aqueous medium at ambient temperature. The catalytic protocol is high yielding (TOF up to 11,280 h?1), operationally simple as well as environmentally clean and safe, being free from halide, or any other toxic auxiliaries. The catalysts are sufficiently stable to afford easy recyclability for at least 10 consecutive reaction cycles of sulfoxidation with consistent activity selectivity profile. Oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) to respective high purity sulfoxide or sulfone could also be accomplished using the same catalysts by variation of reaction conditions.

- Controlled α-mono- and α,α-di-halogenation of alkyl sulfones using reagent-solvent halogen bonding
-
The direct and selective α-mono-bromination of alkyl sulfones was achieved through base-mediated electrophilic halogenation. The appropriate combination of solvent and electrophilic bromine source was found to be critical to control the nature of the products formed, where reagent-solvent halogen bonding is proposed to control the selectivity via alteration of the effective size of the electrophilic bromine source. Conversely, the α,α-di-brominated sulfones were selectively obtained in good yields following polyhalogenation followed by selective de-halogenation during workup. Both procedures can be applied on gram scale, and the mono-halogenation was successfully extended to the fully selective α-chlorination, α-iodination and α-fluorination of alkyl sulfones.

- Corey-Chaykovsky Cyclopropanation of Nitronaphthalenes: Access to Benzonorcaradienes and Related Systems
-
Nitronaphthalene derivatives react as Michael acceptors in the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction with alkyl phenyl selenones and alkyl diphenyl sulfonium salts. Mechanistic studies reveal that sterically demanding substituents at the carbanionic center favor formation of cyclopropanes and suppress competitive β-elimination to the alkylated products. The transformation, demonstrated also on heterocyclic nitroquinoline and nitroindazolines, is an example of transition metal-free dearomatization method.

- Oxidation of sulfides including DBT using a new vanadyl complex of a non-innocent o-aminophenol benzoxazole based ligand
-
Reaction of a non-innocent o-aminophenol benzoxazole based ligand HLBAP with VOCl3 afforded a vanadyl complex, VOLBIS (SQ), in which SQ is a 2,4-di-tert-butylsemiquinone produced from hydrolysis of HLBAP. The crystal structure of VOLBIS (SQ) exhibits an octahedral geometry with the VO2+ center coordinated by two nitrogen and one oxygen atoms of LBAP and two oxygen atoms of SQ. Electrochemical studies showed quasi-reversible metal-centered reduction and ligand-centered oxidation of complex. The magnetic moment of VOLBIS (SQ) is consistent with the spin-only value expected for S?=?1/2 system. The neutral species of VOLBIS (SQ) is EPR active, which is consistent with a paramagnetic electronic ground state (S?=?1/2). This result is in accordance with the vanadyl (IV) moiety surrounded by tridentate iminobenzosemiquinonate anion radical (HLBIS)?- and benzosemiquinone ligand (SQ)?. The theoretical calculations confirm the experimental results. Furthermore, we present the optimal conditions for maximum efficiency of sulfide oxidation for oxidative desulfurization with hydrogen peroxide and 6 times reusability of catalyst for sulfoxidation of dibenzothiophene.

- Selective catalytic oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones over amorphous Nb2O5/AC catalysts in aqueous phase at room temperature
-
Selective oxidation of sulfides into sulfoxides or sulfones is an important transformation in organic synthesis. Activated carbon supported Nb-based catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and then characterized by the XRD, TEM and XPS. The characterization results indicate Nb species is amorphous Nb2O5. The catalysts were applied for the catalytic oxidation of sulfides in aqueous phase with H2O2 as the oxidant. Sulfides could be converted into the corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones with high conversion and selectivity at room temperature. The recycling experiments showed the Nb2O5/AC catalysts exhibited good reusability. They could be recycled for 10 times without obvious loss of activity and selectivity.

- Highly stable polyoxometalate-resorcin[4]arene-based inorganic-organic complexes for catalytic oxidation desulfurization
-
Self-assembly of a resorcin[4]arene-based ligand (TMR4A) with metal salts and H3PMo12O40·xH2O offers two isostructural complexes, namely, [Ni2Cl(TMR4A)2(CH3CN)2]·[PMo12O40]·4CH3CN (1) and [Co2Cl(TMR4A)2(CH3CN)2]·[PMo12O40]·4CH3CN (2). In both 1 and 2, one Cl? anion bridges two metal cations, and each metal cation is further chelated by four 2-mercaptopyridine N-oxide groups of one TMR4A, producing a [M2Cl(TMR4A)2]3+ dimer (M?=?Ni or Co). The negative [PMo12O40]3? as a counter-anion balances the positive charge. Markedly, 1 and 2 exhibit high stability in aqueous solutions with different pH values and in organic solvents. Remarkably, the efficient heterogeneous catalytic capability for oxidative desulfurization was studied by suing 1 and 2 as recycled catalysts. Moreover, the electrochemical behaviors of the two compounds were discussed as well.

Two remarkable polyoxometalate-bridged Cu(I)- and Ag(I)-thiacalix[4]arene dimers, namely, [Cu4(SiW12O40)(L)2(DMF)2]·2EtOH·DMF (1-Cu) and [Ag4(PMo12O40)(L)2]·OH (1-Ag), were prepared by using a new thiacalix[4]arene, metal cation and polyoxometalate (L = tetra[2-(ethylthio)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole]-thiacalix[4]arene). In 1-Cu and 1-Ag, two thiacalix[4]arenes were linked together by one [SiW12O40]4- or [PMo12O40]3- anion via two metal cations to give a molecular dimer. Further, adjacent dimers were extended into a high-dimensional supramolecular architecture through hydrogen bonds. Markedly, these molecular dimers are exceedingly stable in organic solvents and then were employed as efficient catalysts for catalytic oxidation desulfurization as well as the azide-alkyne "click" reaction.

- Catalytic protodeboronation of pinacol boronic esters: Formal anti-Markovnikov hydromethylation of alkenes
-
Pinacol boronic esters are highly valuable building blocks in organic synthesis. In contrast to the many protocols available on the functionalizing deboronation of alkyl boronic esters, protodeboronation is not well developed. Herein we report catalytic protodeboronation of 1°, 2° and 3° alkyl boronic esters utilizing a radical approach. Paired with a Matteson-CH2-homologation, our protocol allows for formal anti-Markovnikov alkene hydromethylation, a valuable but unknown transformation. The hydromethylation sequence was applied to methoxy protected (-)-Δ8-THC and cholesterol. The protodeboronation was further used in the formal total synthesis of δ-(R)-coniceine and indolizidine 209B.

- Recyclable cobalt(0) nanoparticle catalysts for hydrogenations
-
The search for new hydrogenation catalysts that replace noble metals is largely driven by sustainability concerns and the distinct mechanistic features of 3d transition metals. Several combinations of cobalt precursors and specific ligands in the presence of reductants or under high-thermal conditions were reported to provide active hydrogenation catalysts. This study reports a new method of preparation of small, monodisperse Co(0) nanoparticles (3-4 nm) from the reduction of commercial CoCl2 in the absence of ligands or surfactants. High catalytic activity was observed in hydrogenations of alkenes, alkynes, imines, and heteroarenes (2-20 bar H2). The magnetic properties enabled catalyst separation and multiple recyclings.

A highly efficient and reusable molybdenum-based catalyst has been synthesized by covalent grafting of a bis(phenol) diamine ligand, namely 2-(((2-bromoethyl)(2-((3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)amino)ethyl)amino)methyl)-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol, onto functionalized ordered mesoporous silica (SBA-15) followed by complexation with MoO2(acac)2. The resulting organic–inorganic hybrid material was found to be a highly effective catalyst for oxygenation of various sulfides to their corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones. The catalyst was characterized using transmission and scanning electron microscopies, X-ray photoelectron, Fourier transform infrared and atomic absorption spectroscopies, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Mild reaction conditions, high selectivity and easy recovery and reusability of the catalyst render the presented protocol very useful for addressing industrial needs and environmental concerns.

- A Crown-Shaped Ru-Substituted Arsenotungstate for Selective Oxidation of Sulfides with Hydrogen Peroxide
-
An acetate-bridged Ru-substituted arsenotungstate [H2N(CH3)2]14[As4W40O140{Ru2(CH3COO)}2]?22 H2O (1) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Four Ru atoms occupy the respective lacunary S2 sites of the crown-shaped polyanion [As4W40O140]28?, and each Ru atom is coordinated by one As atom and five μ2-O atoms, comprising four from the S2 site and one from the acetate ligand. To the best of our knowledge, this coordination of the Ru atom, with an Ru?As bond length of 2.377(3)–2.387(3) ?, is unprecedented in polyoxometalate (POM) chemistry. Notably, 1 exhibits high efficiency, excellent selectivity, and good recyclability for the oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Catalytic oxidation of various sulfides in the presence of 1 gives superior conversion and selectivity for sulfones in acetonitrile, whereas sulfoxides are obtained in methanol.
