The chemistry of polyoxometalates has been reviewed extensively. Much useful information about the synthesis, study of structures and various applications of heteropoly acids and their salts have been reported in the literature. Thus, POMs inorganic complexes composed of transitional metals mainly Mo, W and V. The present review gives an introduction into the chemistry of these compounds and ov...

This paper is a brief review of our recent research into novel uses for heteropoly compounds as precursors for thin films that can be used as catalysts and materials with good optical, conductive and other characteristics. In view of this, we have chosen thin film obtained with 12-tungsphosphoric acid on aluminum substrates. In all cases, a relatively new, microarc oxidation technique has been ...

Titania supported vanadomolybdophosphoric acid (VMPA) catalysts with vanadium in different positions, incorporated into the molybdophosphoric acid structure by substituting for molybdenum and cation exchanged on the molybdophosphoric acid surface, were synthesized. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, TPR, XPS, and ESR techniques. The FT-IR and Raman spectral anal...

A novel Brönsted-Lewis acidic heteropoly organic-inorganic salt has been prepared via the replacement of protons in neat phosphotungstic acid with both organic and metal cations. This hybrid catalyst, Sm0.33[TEAPS]2PW12O40, exhibited satisfactory performance in the dimerization of rosin to prepare polymerized rosin Under optimum conditions (15.0 g rosin and 5.0 g Sm0.33[TEAPS]2PW12O40 catalyst ...
