“…Although vanadium catalysts show promising activity, their industrial applications are problematic as vanadium compounds are classified as critical according to a European Union regulation and have difficulties to fulfill the criteria of registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals (REACH) . Hetero‐polyoxometallates containing Mo(VI), W(VI), Mn(II‐VII), Cu(II), Ru(III), Ce(IV), Fe(III), Pd(II), Ti(II,IV), and Nb(V) are useful, but often more expensive and less active alternatives . Main group compounds of B(III), Ba(II), Bi(III), Sb(V), Se, and Te have haloperoxidase‐like activity during the synthesis of (hetero) aryl halides, vinyl halides, and alkyl halides by C–H activation …”
