In this work, we have explored the catalytic activity of Keggin-type heteropolyanions PMo12−nVnO40(3+n)− (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3) in the form of sodium salts in green oxidation routes of terpene alcohols with hydrogen peroxide.
The Na7PW11O39 lacunar salt was the most active among Keggin lacunar salts (Na8SiW11O39 and Na7PMo11O39), a saturated salt (Na7PW12O40) and heteropolyacid catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
