CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF HETEROPOLY ACID CONTAINING PHOSPHOROUS GROUP

Abstract

Catalytic activities of a series of Keggin-type heteropoly acids with structural similarity were examined based on the H₂O₂-oxidation reaction of 1-octen-3-ol. Structural changes in the heteropoly acids reflected the selectivities of the oxidation reaction. Thus, we found that H₂O₂-oxidation reaction of 1-octen-3-ol is a useful probe reaction for comparison of the catalytic activities of a series of heteropoly acids with partial modification.
