High Catalytic Activities of Pseudoliquid Phase of Dodecatungstophosphoric Acid for Reactions of Polar Molecules

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1991.1695

A solid H3PW12O40 exhibited very high catalytic activities for the reations of polar molecules in the liqiud phase, while it was much less active for the reactions of nonpolar molecules.It was confirmed that the pseudoliquid phase behavior of H3PW12O40 is responsible for the high activities.
