Resumen-Se sintetizaron heteropolioxometalatos tipo Anderson (NH 4 ) 4 [NiMo 6-x W x O 24 H 6 ]•5H 2 O soportados sobre γ-Al 3 O 2 , utilizando el método de coprecipitación. Estos solidos fueron utilizados como precursores en la reacción de hidrodesulfuración (HDS) de tiofeno a 400°C. Los precursores catalíticos se caracterizaron por propiedades texturales (área específica (B.E.T) y, distribución del diámetro y volumen de poros), difracción de rayos X (DRX), espectroscopía infrarroja (FT-IR) y análisis elemental (CHON-S). Las áreas específicas estuvieron dentro del intervalo de 109 y 35 m 2 /g con una distribución del diámetro y volumen de poros de 8,9-9,6 nm y 0,11-0,34 cm 3 /g, respectivamente. were synthesized by coprecipitation. These solids were used as precursors in the thiophene hydrodesulfurization catalytic at 400 °C. The catalytic precursors were characterized by textural properties (BET specific surface area and, total pore volume and pore diameter distribution), X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR spectroscopy (FTIR) and S analysis (CHON-S). The specific surface area was between 109 and 35 m 2 /g with total pore volume and pore diameter distribution of 0,11-0,34 cm 3 /g and 8,9-9,6 nm, respectively. XRD showed the presence of NiWO 4 , (NH 4 ) 4 [NiMo 6 O 24 H 6 ]•5H 2 O and WO 3 . FTIR analysis can be assigned to the characteristic vibrations of Anderson-type structure, due to stretching and bending of the functional groups present. The NiMo 6 -O/Al precursor was the most active in the HDS, it had a conversion of 72,75% and was even more active than the AERO commercial catalyst. The results of HDS revealed that the catalytic activity increases as follows: NiMo 6 -O/Al > AERO > NiMo 3 W 3 -O/Al > NiW 6 -O/Al. The catalytic selectivity of precursors and commercial catalyst (AERO) was directed towards the cis-butene.
