Water oxidation is a multielectron complex reaction that produces molecular oxygen as the final product. The article addresses the lack of confirmation of oxygen product formation in electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) studies, despite the extensive research conducted on catalysts for water splitting. It critically evaluates the trend o...

A recent report established that the tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salt of hexavanadopolymolybdate TBA4H5[PMo6V6O40] (PV6Mo6) serves as the redox buffer with Cu(II) as a co-catalyst for aerobic deodorization of thiols in acetonitrile. Here, we document the profound impact of vanadium atom number (x = 0-4 and 6) in TBA salts of PVxMo12-xO40(3+x)- (PVMo)...

The control of the solution electrochemical potential as well as pH impacts products in redox reactions, but the former gets far less attention. Redox buffers facilitate the maintenance of potentials and have been noted in diverse cases, but they have not been a component of catalytic systems. We report a catalytic system that contains its own buil...

From multiple perspectives, d-block-metal-substituted polyoxometalates (POMs) represent synthetically tunable homogeneous analogs of many transition metal oxides. Both classes of materials have a range of catalytic activities derived from the presence of redox active metals in all-oxygen ligand environments. These carbon-free environments provide f...

Bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide or sulfur mustard (HD) is one of the highest-tonnage chemical warfare agents and one that is highly persistent in the environment. For decontamination, selective oxidation of HD to the substantially less toxic sulfoxide is crucial. We report here a solvent-free, solid, robust catalyst comprising hydrophobic salts of tribr...

Polyoxometalates (POMs) and in particularly Keggin heteropolytungstates are much studied and commercially important catalysts for dioxygen-based oxidation processes. The rate-limiting step in many POM-catalyzed O2-based oxidations is reoxidation of the reduced POM by O2. We report here that this reoxidation process, as represented by the one-electr...
