Two sandwich-type polyoxomolybdates Na8[MO2(Mo2O5(O3PCH3C(O)PO3))2] (M = Ni2+ (1); Co2+ (2)) were synthesized by one-pot reaction of Na2HPMo12O40·14H2O, 1-hydroxy ethidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP=HOC(CH3)(PO3H2)2), and (1) NiCl2/CoCl2 (2). Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), IR spectroscopy, 31P NMR spectra, UV-vis spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Structural analysis reveals that 1 and 2 exhibit similar centrosymmetric structure, which consists of one transition metal (TM) ion sandwiched by two same subunits (Mo2O5(O3PCH3C(O)PO3)). The clusters 1 and 2 show efficient catalytic activities for oxidation of thioanisole. Moreover, they are catalytically selective for oxidizing thioanisole. Both resuable polyoxomolybdates 1 and 2 catalysts show good thermo- and hydrolytic stability. It is noted that compound 1 shows outstanding catalytic activity for oxidation of various sulfides to corresponding sulfones with 93-100% selectivity at 97-100% conversion in one hour under mild conditions, which is potentially valuable to the removal of organic sulfides.
