An organic–inorganic hybrid supramolecular framework material based on a [P2W18O62]6− cluster and Yb & Na complexes of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid: a catalyst for selective oxidation of sulfides in water with H2O2†
Abstract
A rare-earth-containing polyoxometalate (RECP) hybrid, {(Yb (PDCH2)2(PDCH))·Na(H2O)2·(Na(PDCH)(H2O)2)}2[P2W18O62]·14H2O (1), based on [P2W18O62]6− cluster anions and cationic Yb & Na complex units of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDCH2) has been synthesized under normal reaction conditions, which exhibited a supramolecular 3-D framework structure in the crystal lattice. Hybrid 1 acts as a green catalyst for the selective oxidation of sulfides in water with H2O2 as the reagent.
