Abstract:

Self-assembled mesoporous polyoxometalate-based ionic hybrid catalyst,[PxyDim]2.5PMoV2, was prepared by combining p-xylene-tethered diimidazole ionic liquid[PxyDim]Cl2 with Keg-gin-structured V-substituted polyoxometalate H5PMo10V2O40. The obtained hybrid was shown to be a mesostructured and hydrophobic material with good thermal stability. In the H2O2-based hydroxylation of benzene to phenol, the hybrid showed extraordinary catalytic activity and rate, and quite stable reusability. The unique hydrophobic properties and mesoporous structure of the hybrid were responsible for its excellent catalytic performance.
