Keggin-type heteropolyoxometalates have been explored as catalysts for the epoxidation of alkenes at room temperature. Alkenes have been catalytically oxidized to the corresponding epoxides using mild and environmentally benign hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant. For vanadium(V)-substituted heteropolyoxometalates 5-(x = 4 for POM 1 and 6 for POM 2), the efficiency of the catalyst towards epoxidation of alkenes is found to be dependent on the amount of vanadium atoms present in the POM catalyst and also on the nature of the reaction medium.
The title compound, C13H12N2OS, contains a diazene group (—N=N—), and the configuration around the —N=N— double bond is trans. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 33.88 (6)°. The molecular units are linked into chains by intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds.
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.
