Abstract: | This review article summarizes our recent researches for molecular design of polyoxometalates (POMs) and their related compounds
for environmentally-friendly functional group transformations. The divacant POM γ-SiW10O34(H2O)2]4− exhibits high catalytic performance for mono-oxygenation-type reactions including epoxidation of olefins and allylic alcohols,
sulfoxidation, and hydroxylation of organosilanes with H2O2. We have successfully synthesized several POM-based molecular catalysts (metal-substituted POMs) with controlled active sites
by the introduction of metal species into the divacant POM as a “structural motif”. These molecular catalysts can efficiently
activate H2O2 (vanadium-substituted POM for epoxidation) and alkynes (copper-substituted POM for click reaction and oxidative homocoupling
of alkynes). The aluminum-substituted POM exhibits Lewis acidic catalysis for diastereoselective cyclization of (+)-citronellal
to (−)-isopulegol. In addition, we have developed POM-based “molecular heterogeneous catalysts” by the “solidification” and
“immobilization” of catalytically active POMs. |
