Molybdenum(v)-mediated switching of the C(sp²)–Se bond of phenylselenyl-functionalized arenes or heterocycles under mild conditions

Abstract

Molybdenum (V)-mediated cleavage of C(sp2)-Se bond and C(sp2)-H bond as well as intramolecular oxidative C(sp2)-Se coupling reaction of phenylselenyl-functionalized arenes or heterocycles has been developed. Three kinds of benzoselenophene frameworks...

A mesoporous Mo and N Co-doped TiO2nanocomposite with enhanced photocatalytic efficiency

“… 14 Molybdenum has a partially filled d electron shell and a tunable valence state, which make it a good doping candidate for fine-tuning the catalytic efficiency of a material. 15,16 Furthermore, Mo is widely used as a TiO 2 dopant as it is non-toxic and inexpensive with good solubility in the anatase phase. 14 Moreover, the similar radii of Mo 6+ ions (0.062 nm) and Ti 4+ ions (0.068 nm) facilitate effective Mo 6+ substitution at Ti 4+ sites with minimal or no lattice distortion.…”
