Abstract:Nb2O5 catalysts with different morphologies were synthesized and used for thioether oxidation at room temperature under solvent‐free conditions with H2O2 as the oxidant. Selective formation of sulfoxides in good to excellent selectivities was realized using spherical Nb2O5 as the catalysts. Selective formation of sulfones with excellent selectivities was achieved with layered Nb2O5 as the catalysts. Nb2O5 catalysts with different morphologies possessed different surface areas and acid amounts. A non‐radical me… Show more
A visible-light induced selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones was reported at ambient temperature in H2O under catalyst-free conditions, using oxygen as green oxidant. The surfactants play a...

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.
