Abstract
Cluster cat: Three new imidazole-functionalized neutral hexanuclear vanadium clusters have been prepared, one of which shows exceptional catalytic activity in the selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols (see scheme). Furthermore, these new polyoxovanadium clusters can be readily recycled and reused with unchanged catalytic activity. A plausible catalytic cycle is also proposed.
