A Study of the Acid Properties of Structurally and Compositionally Different Heteropoly Acids in Acetic Acid

The acid properties of heteropoly acids of the following three structure types were studied by conductometry in acetic acid: Keggin (H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀, H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀, H₃PW₁₁ThO₃₉; and H₅PW₁₁XO₄₀, where X(IV) = Ti or Zr), Dawson (-H₆P₂W₁₈O₆₂and -H₆P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂), and H₆P₂W₂₁O₇₁(H₂O)₃. These compounds are electrolytes that dissociate in only the first step of this solvent. The thermodynamic dissociation constants of the heteropoly acids were calculated by the Fuoss–Kraus method. The Hammett acidity functions H ₀of the solutions of H₅PW₁₁XO₄₀, H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀, and H₆P₂W₂₁O₇₁(H₂O)₃in 85% acetic acid at 25°C were determined by the indicator method. All of the test heteropoly acids were found to be strong acids.     

A study of complexation of chloral hydrate with heteropoly anions having various structures

¹H NMR was applied to study the interaction of chloral hydrate in deuterionitrobenzene solution with tetrabutylammonium salts of the heteropoly acids (HPA) belonging to five structural types: Keggin (H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀, H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀), Dawson (-H₆P₂W₁₈O₆₂, -H₆P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂, -H₄S₂Mo₁₈O₆₂), H₆P₂W₂₁O₇₁(H₂O)₃, H₆As₂W₂₁O₆₉(H₂O), and H₂₁B₃W₃₉O₁₃₂. The surface of the HPA anions is nonuniform in acid-base properties. A general rule for all HPA was found, namely, that the HPA acidity increases with a decrease in the specific anion charge (per W or Mo atom).

In aqueous solutions all acids under study have the same strength, and in organic solvents their acidities differ. A correlation between the catalytic activity and acidity of the solution is found for the condensation of acetone to mesityl oxide.

Keggin fragment, leading to the M^II-containing banana-shaped tungstophosphates. Magnetic properties of 2 show decrease of the molar magnetic susceptibility at higher temperatures results from spin-orbit coupling of Co^II and antiferromagnetic interactions whereas the maximum at the lower temperatures is indicative of the ferromagnetic interactions within the trinuclear Co^II spin cluster in the sandwich belt.

A series of studies of hydrocarbon oxidation by the O₂ + H₂ mixture in the presence of catalytic systems based on Pt or Pd and a heteropoly compound (HPC) is reviewed. The catalytic systems were prepared from Pd(II) complexes with the heteropoly tungstate anions PW₁₁O ₂₉ ^7? and PW₉O ₃₄ ^9? , the complex salt [Pt(NH₃)₄][H₂Mo₁₂O₄₀]₂ · 7H₂O, mixtures of H₂PtCl₄ or H₂PtCl₆ with H_{3 + n} PMo_{12 ? n} V _n O₄₀ (n = 0–3) heteropoly acids, or supported platinum dispersed in HPC solutions. The interaction of metal ions and particles with HPCs in the initial state and after thermal and redox treatments was investigated by NMR, IR spectroscopy, XPS, EXAFS, HREM, and TPR. The catalytic systems were tested in the liquid-phase oxidation of alkanes, cyclohexane, cycloalkenes, benzene, toluene, and phenol with the O₂ + H₂ mixture at low temperatures. Effective supported catalysts based on platinum nanoparticles associated with the redox-active HPCs H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀ and H₄PMo₁₁VO₄₀ were prepared for gas-phase benzene oxidation into phenol. The oxidation mechanism includes the interaction between dioxygen and platinum (or palladium) and the participation of the HPC in the formation of active oxygen species of radical nature.

Transition metal substituted tungstophosphoric compound catalyzed oxidation of hexanol to hexanal with hydrogen peroxide

Summary The oxidation of hexanol in the presence of the Keggin-type heteropoly compounds (HPCs) H₃PMo_nW_12-nO₄₀ (denoted as PMo_nW_12-n, n=0,1) and Na₅PW₁₁ZO₃₉ (denoted as PW₁₁Z, Z = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) was carried out to produce hexanal and hexanoic acid. The reaction was conducted in tert-butanol (t-BuOH), using cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) salts of HPA and 15% aqueous H₂O₂ as oxidant under mild condition. The PMoW₁₁ catalyst showed higher hexanol conversion of 25%, the lowest selectivity to hexanal of 64.4% and an efficient utilization of H₂O₂ of 34%.

Thermal Stability of Heteropoly Acids and Characterization of the Water Content in the Keggin Structure

The thermal stability of heteropoly acids of the Keggin type (H₄[SiMo₁₂O₄₀], H₃[PMo₁₂O₄₀], H₄[SiW₁₂O₄₀] and H₃[PW₁₂O₄₀]), being important new catalytic materials, was studied by DSC. Two groups of signals were observed: the low temperature endothermic peak group belongs to the water content, while the high temperature one is exothermic and indicates the thermal decomposition of the acids. The effect of microwave irradiation on the target compounds was also studied. The emphasis, however, was placed on the characterization of the water content of the acids. Several types of water can be classified and DSC curves provide additional information to explain the differences in the catalytic behavior. The study of the effect of heat treatment and the subsequent water absorption of the acids provided additional unique information concerning the pseudoliquid phase in the secondary structure of heteropoly acids. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The test heteropolytungstates and the thermolysis products of their potassium salts—phases with the structures of the types of pyrochlore and hexagonal tungsten bronzes—are promising compounds for the preparation of catalysts for organic synthesis reactions. The results of the studies can be useful for the prognostication of the properties of new catalytic systems based on these compounds.
