Polyoxometalates heterogenization

Heterogeneous Catalysts with Polyoxometalate-Based Compounds. 474... 

Polyoxometalate-catalyzed oxidations are carried out in homogeneous or heterogeneous systems. Write advantages and disadvantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, respectively. 

Liquid-phase oxidations catalyzed by polyoxometalates are covered by Mizuno, Kamata, and Yamaguchi (Chapter 13). Finally, the developing field of enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis is presented by Coman, Poncelet, and Parvulescu (Chapter 14). 

Iu search for efficieut aud greeuer processes over the past few years various heterogeneous catalysts such as titanium incorporated mesoporous molecular sieves [45,46], Schiff-base complexes supported on zeolite [47] and Zn(II)-Al(III) layered double hydroxide (LDH) [48], oxomolybdenum(VI) complexes supported on MCM-41 and MCM-48 [49], polyoxometallate supported materials [50], Co and Mn-AlPO s [51] etc. have been developed and studied for the catalytic epoxidatiou of a-pinene. Many of these processes suffer from drawbacks and limited applicability due to the poor conversion and also the selectivities. Sacrificial aldehydes are often used as an oxygen acceptor in such processes to achieve reasonable yield and selectivities but, this procedure leads to an increase in the E-factors and decrease in the atom economy [51].

Supported Polyoxometalate-Based Heterogeneous Catalysis for Liquid. 

W, V and Co has been widely investigated [28]. This section will highlight some novel and unique approaches to epoxide synthesis using environmentally benign oxidants and heterogeneous metal catalysts such as solid-supported Ti, polyoxometalates and hydrotaldte.
