title: Vanadium and molybdenum peroxides: synthesis and catalytic activity in oxidation reactions.
abstract: Catalysis by transition metal ions in oxidation reactions with hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides is a leading topic in the pursuit of more sustainable and selective processes, to obtain compounds with high added value. The most recent achievements concerning the synthesis and characterization, as well as the key aspects of reactivity, of V(V) and Mo(VI) peroxo complexes have been collected here.
