title: Alkene oxidation by Ti-containing polyoxometalates. Unambiguous characterization of the role of the protonation state.
abstract: Kinetic and DFT studies revealed that protonation of Ti-containing polyoxometalates (Ti-POM) lowers significantly the energy barrier for the heterolytic oxygen transfer from the Ti hydroperoxo intermediate to the alkene, increasing the activity and selectivity of alkene oxidation.
