Tin (antimony) substituted and lacunar Dawson phosphotungstomolybdates (1-K10P2W12Mo5O61, 1-K8P2W12Mo5SnO61 and -Cs4SnP2W12Mo6O62, and -Cs3SbP2W12Mo6O62) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance ( 31 P NMR), Visible Ultra Violet (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their catalytic properties were examined in the oxidation reaction of cyclohexanone at 90 °C and that of cyclohexene at 70 °C to adipic acid (AA), in presence of hydrogen peroxide and in free solvent. The effects of catalyst/substrate molar ratios, hydrogene peroxide flow rate, heteropolysalt composition, and cyclohexanol addition on AA yields were studied. The Cs4SnP2W12Mo6O62 (the most efficient) led to 61 % of AA yield from the cyclohexanone oxidation using a catalyst/substrate molar ratio of 13.3×10 -4 , H2O2 flow rate of 0.5 mL/h, and a reaction time of 20 h.
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.
