Dy/Ho-encapsulated tartaric acid-functionalized tungstoantimonates: heterogeneous catalysts for isoindolinone synthesis†
Abstract
Two novel rare earth-substituted tungstoantimonates [H2N(CH3)2]8Na12[Dy2(H2O)6(tar)(Sb2W21O72)]2·40H2O (DySbW) and [H2N(CH3)2]6Na14[Ho2(H2O)6(tar)(Sb2W21O72)]2·25H2O (HoSbW) (H4tar = tartaric acid) were synthesized. The meso-polyanions are alternately linked by {Na3(H2O)3} clusters and DL-tar ligands to form 1D chains. Notably, HoSbW exhibits excellent catalytic activity and high stability for the synthesis of isoindolinones using EtOH as a green solvent.
