Sumario: | The activity of complex heteropolytungstates of general formula B-α-[M<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>(PW<sub>9</sub>O<sub>34</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>10-</sup> with M= Co(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Cu(II) (PWM) was investigated in the selective oxidation reaction of diphenylsulfide to diphenylsulfoxide in presence of <i>tert</i>-butylhydroperoxide as oxidant. The characterization of phases was performed by X Ray Powder Diffraction, XRD. All phases resulted isomorphous although PWCu is obtained as a mixture of two structural isomers [Cu<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>PW<sub>10</sub>O<sub>38</sub>]<sup>7-</sup>.
The oxidation reaction was carried out in batch at 80°C using toluene as solvent and tbutylhydroperoxide 5-6 M in decane as oxidant for 6 h. The catalytic evaluation made by gas chromatography revealed a similar behavior with conversions of diphenylsulfide around 60% and high selectivity to diphenylsulfoxide near to 95% for most of phases studied while PWCu resulted the most active catalyst presenting a conversion of 84%. The activity rise was correlated with the increase of the oxidant character of the cluster metal(II). |
