Direct aerobic epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by metal nanoparticles stabilized by the H5PV2Mo10O40 polyoxometalate.
Ag and Ru nanoparticles stabilized by H5PV2Mo10O40, prepared by a sequence of redox reactions and supported on alpha-alumina, were effective catalysts for the direct aerobic epoxidation of alkenes in the liquid phase.
