The complex [MoO(O2)2(pyrazole)2] (1) is an effective catalyst for the oxidation of organic sulfides (methylphenylsulfide and diphenylsulfide). Reactions can be run in water as the only medium, at low temperature (25 °C), with low catalyst loadings (0.2 mol%) and excellent H2O2 efficiency with no significant non-productive decomposition of the oxidant. Under conditions that favor sulfone formation, the overall ...
The octamolybdate salt (H3biim)4[b-Mo8O26] (1) has been prepared in good yield by hydrolysis of the complex [MoO2Cl2(H2biim)] (H2biim = 2,20-biimidazole). Compound 1 showed a good performance as a (pre)catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins using either tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. With the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) as ...

The hybrid metal oxide-triazole materials [MoO3(trz)(0.5)] (1) and [W2O6(trz)] (2) (trz = 1,2,4-triazole) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by different techniques (TGA, SEM, H-1 and C-13 MAS NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and structure determination by Rietveld analysis of high resolution synchrotron powder XRD data). Materials 1 and 2 display distinct behaviors when applied as catalysts for oxi...
The title compound, (C5H9N2)4[Mo8O26]·4H2O, was reported previously from a room-temperature data collection from which only the metal atoms could be refined anisotropically [FitzRoy et al. (1989). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 157, 187-194]. The current redetermination at 180(2)K models all the non-H atoms with anisotropic displacement parameters and fully describes the supramolecular N - H⋯O and O - H⋯O hydrogen-bonded n...

The tungsten oxide/2,2'-bipyridine hybrid material [WO3(2,2'-bpy)]center dot nH(2)O (n = 1-2) (1) has been prepared in near quantitative yield by the reaction of H2WO4, 2,2'-bpy, and H2O in the mole ratio of ca. 1:2:700 at 160 degrees C for 98 h in a rotating Teflon-lined digestion bomb. The solid-state structure of 1 was solved and refined through Rietveld analysis of high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffract...
The complex [MoO2Cl2(bpydc)] (1) (H(2)bpydc = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) has been incorporated into a Zr-IV-based MetalOrganic Framework (UiO-67) by partial replacement of 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid (H(2)bpdc) in the solvothermal synthesis by the complex [MoO2Cl2(H(2)bpydc)]. The resultant material, designated as UiO-67-MoO2Cl2(bpydc) (3), was isotypical with the parent UiO-67 framework as show...
