Cover Story: This study introduces the synthesis of novel dicopper-substituted polyoxovanadate [Cu2V16O44(NO3)]5− (Cu2V16). From single-crystal X-ray analysis, Cu2V16 exhibited the same framework with the same guest anion of nitrate-incorporated polyoxovanadate, [V18O46(NO3)]5− (V18). The temperature-dependent IR spectra indicated that the nitrate rotates relatively easily in the polyoxovanadate framework by the substitution of copper atoms instead of (VO)2+ sites in V18. In addition, the catalytic performance for the oxidation of 1-phenyl ethanol to acetophenone was drastically changed by the metal substitution. By taking advantage of the same framework in both catalysts, the most active site is on the substituted copper atoms rather than the polyoxovanadate framework. View this paper
