An intriguing tetranuclear Rh-based polyoxometalate for the reduction of nitroarene and oxidation of aniline

Abstract

An organic–inorganic hybrid polyoxometalate Na5H5.68 [Na0.17Rh0.83III(C6H8N2)2Cl2]2(C8H8N2)2[As4W40O140Rh4IV(C6H4N2S)2nH2O (1) containing 5.66 Rh atoms is prepared; to our knowledge, it owns the largest number of Rh atoms in the Rh-POM family. Compound 1 demonstrates good catalytic performance in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline and the oxidation of aniline to azobenzene under mild conditions. Moreover, catalyst 1 exhibits high activity, excellent stability and recyclability.
