“…A number of vanadates and vanadium phosphates have been explored extensively as a result of their catalytic properties in organic oxidations and their intercalation properties (Centi, 1993;Cheetham et al, 1999;Chirayil et al, 1997;Ouellette et al, 2006;Sananes et al, 1995;Shan et al, 1999;Shi et al, 2000). In contrast, the known chemistry of vanadium selenites is very limited (Harrison et al, 1995;Halasyamini & O'Hare, 1997;Kim et al, 2001;Kwon et al, 1996;Lee et al, 1995;Vaughey et al, 1994).…”
