ChemInform Abstract: Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Cocatalyzed by Palladium(0) and the H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀ Polyoxometalate Probed by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Aerobic Catalysis.

Abstract

Aerobic Catalysis. -Two paramagnetic species are observed in the anaerobic oxidation of CO using H5PV2Mo10O40 and Pd/Al2O3 as co-catalysts. One of these species resembles a vanadyl cation and shows a bonding interaction with CO. Oxygen transfer from the polyoxometalate results in the formation of CO2. Under aerobic conditions in the presence of terminal alkenes such as 1-octene, epoxidation and hydrocarbonylation is observed. -(GOLDBERG, H.; KAMINKER, I.; GOLDFARB, D.; NEUMANN*, R.; Inorg.
