Peroxotungstate-Based Ionic Hybrid as a Triphase Heterogeneous Catalyst for Efficient Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation Under Mild Conditions

Crystal structure of 3,3′-(1,2-phenylene-bis(methylene))bis(1-ethyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bis(hexafluorophosphate), C18H24F12N4P2

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) generally refer to a class of low-melting compounds composed of adjustable organic cations and inorganic or organic anions, and have different functions [5,6]. ILs as a new type of environmentally friendly solvent, owing high catalytic efficiency at mild conditions, and can be recycled, etc., has been widely used in catalytic science, extraction and separation, biomass energy, resource conversion and other fields [7][8][9]. It is worth mentioning that various functional ionic liquids have been used to produce biodiesel highly efficiently and environmental friendly [ [10][11][12].…”
