One Functionalized Polyoxovanadates Hybrid Material Based on Arsonic Acid with Highly Effective Catalytic Property of Sulfides

In this work, a novel 4-aminophenylarsonic acid functionalized polyoxovanadates (POVs) hybrid material, namely, (Me2NH2)4 ·[(L)8(H12V16O32)] (H2L = 4-NH2C6H4AsO3H2) POVs 1 was solvothermally synthesized and fully characterized. The results revealed POVs 1 consists of four similar tetranuclear vanadium clusters bridged by eight organic 4-aminophenylarsonic acid ligands. Remarkably, functionalized hybrid POVs 1 was further investigated as a heterogeneous stable catalyst in oxidation of sulfide derivatives, and exhibited high catalytic activities (yields up to 96.7%). Additionally, the functionalized hybrid polyoxovanadates catalyst can be reused without losing activities after three runs cycle.
