title: Highly efficient oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [SeO(4){WO(O(2))(2)}(2)](2-).
abstract: By using the selenium-containing dinuclear peroxotungstate at 0.005-0.1 mol%, various kinds of sulfides could be converted into the corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones in excellent yields with one or two equivalents of H(2)O(2) with respect to the sulfide, respectively.
