Although supported anionic gold nanoparticle catalysts have been theoretically investigated for their efficacy in activating O 2 in aerobic oxidation reactions, limited studies have been reported due to the difficulty of designing these catalysts. Herein, we developed a feasible method for preparing supported anionic gold nanoparticle catalysts using multivacant lacunary polyoxometalates with high negative charges. We confirmed the strong and robust electronic interaction between gold nanoparticles and multivacant lacunary polyoxometalates, and the electronic states of the supported gold nanoparticle catalysts can be sequentially modulated. Particularly, the catalyst prepared using [SiW 9 O 34 ] 10À acted as an efficient reusable heterogeneous catalyst, showing superior catalytic performance for the oxidative dehydrogenation of piperidone derivatives to the corresponding enaminones and remarkably higher stability than supported gold nanoparticle catalysts without this modification.

Polyoxometalates (POMs), anionic metal‐oxygen nanoclusters that possess various composition‐dependent properties, are widely used to modify the existing properties of metal nanoparticles and to endow them with new ones. Herein, we present an overview of recent advances in hybrid materials that consist of metal nanoparticles and POMs. Following a brief introduction on the inception of this area and its development, representative properties and applications of these materials in various fields such as electrochemistry, photochemistry, and catalysis are introduced. We discuss how the combination of two classic inorganic materials facilitates cooperative and synergistic behavior, and we also give personal perspectives on the future development of this field.

Supported gold nanoparticle catalysts have attracted growing interest in aerobic oxidation reactions. In their Research Article (e202205873), Kazuya Yamaguchi, Kosuke Suzuki et al. describe a method for the design of supported anionic gold nanoparticle catalysts using negatively charged multivacant polyoxometalates. The electronic states of the catalysts can be sequentially modulated, and the catalyst prepared using [SiW9O34]10− acted as a reusable heterogeneous catalyst, showing superior catalytic activity and enhanced stability compared to conventional catalysts.

Goldnanopartikel‐Katalysatoren sind von großem Interesse für aerobe Oxidationsreaktionen. In ihrem Forschungsartikel (e202205873) beschreiben Kazuya Yamaguchi, Kosuke Suzuki et al. eine Methode für die Entwicklung von Katalysatoren aus anionischen Goldnanopartikeln mithilfe von negativ geladenen, mehrwertigen Polyoxometallaten. Die elektronischen Zustände der Katalysatoren können moduliert werden, und der unter Verwendung von [SiW9O34]10− hergestellte Katalysator fungierte als wiederverwendbarer heterogener Katalysator mit überlegener katalytischer Aktivität und verbesserter Stabilität im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Katalysatoren.
