Organosilicon compounds have attracted much attention, and silanols are widely utilized as building blocks for the production of silicon-based polymer materials and organic donors in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. [1, 2] Silanols are conventionally synthesized by hydrolysis of chlorosilanes [3] and treatment of siloxanes with alkaline reagents. [4] Strictly controlled reaction conditions are needed and it is difficult to synthesize sterically exposed silanols that readily condense to form disiloxanes. Oxidation with stoichiometric oxidants such as silver salts, [5] peracids, [6] permanganate, [7] dioxiranes, [8] osmium tetroxide, [9] oxaziridines, [10] and ozone [11] has also been reported. However, most of them lead to undesired production of the corresponding siloxanes instead of silanols. In contrast to these approaches, transitionmetal-catalyzed oxidation of silanes to silanols is a promising synthetic method. Hydrolytic oxidation systems based on Ir, [12] Ru, [13] Ag, [14] Cu, [15] Cr, [16] Re, [17] Pt, [18] and Au [19] catalysts with water as oxygen donor have been reported, and some of them show broad substrate scope and high catalytic activity. Another approach is oxidation of silanes by Re [20] and Tizeolite [21] catalysts with H 2 O 2 as oxygen donor. However, these systems have disadvantages: 1) applicability to a limited number of silanes, 2) use of an excess of highly concentrated H 2 O 2 or urea/H 2 O 2 adduct (UHP), 3) low turnover frequencies (TOF = 1-7), and 4) significant formation of undesirable siloxanes. Therefore, catalytic systems for efficient and selective H 2 O 2 -based oxidation of various silanes to silanols are scarcely known.Polyoxometalates have attracted considerable attention in the fields of structural chemistry, biological chemistry, catal-ysis, and materials science.
