title: Synthesis and structural characterization of BINOL-modified chiral polyoxometalates.
abstract: Chiral ligand-modified polyoxometalates (POMs) were successfully synthesized by the introduction of BINOL into the dititanium-substituted POM in an organic medium and characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. These BINOL-modified POMs were stable in the solution state and showed catalytic activity for asymmetric oxidation of thioanisole.
