Heterobimetallic cerium(IV) oxo clusters supported by a tripodal oxygen ligand
Heterometallic CeIV/M (M = MoVI, ReVII, VV) oxo clusters supported by the Kl?ui tripodal oxygen ligand [(η5-C5H5)Co{P(O)(OEt)2}3]- (LOEt-) have been synthesized and structurally characterized, and the catalytic activity of the CeIV/VV oxo cluster in the oxidation of thioanisoles has been studied. Treatment of [Ce(LOEt)Cl3] (1) with [Ag2MoO4] afforded the reported CeIV/MoVI cluster [H4(CeLOEt)6Mo9O38] (2), whereas that with [AgReO4] yielded the CeIV/ReVII cluster [{LOEtCe(ReO4)2(H2O)(μ-ReO4)}2] (3) that contains an 8-membered Ce2Re2O4 ring. Treatment of 1 with [Ag3VO4] afforded the CeIV/VV cluster [H2(CeLOEt)4(VO)4(μ4-O)(μ3-O)12] (4) containing a {Ce4V4O13} oxo-metallic core. The solid-state structure of 4 consists of four {VO4}3- units bridged by four {LOEtCe3+} moieties and a μ4-oxo ligand. Each Ce atom in 4 is 9-coordinated, whereas the geometry around each V atom is pseudo square pyramidal with a terminal oxo at the apical position. Cluster 4 is an active catalyst for the oxidation of substituted thioanisoles with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. For example, the oxidation of thioanisole with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of 0.01 mol% of 4 gave a ca. 30 : 1 mixture of the sulfoxide and sulfone products in 96% yield.

A sustainable approach towards solventless organic oxidations catalyzed by polymer immobilized Nb(V)-peroxido compounds with H2O2 as oxidant
New heterogeneous catalysts comprising of peroxidoniobium(V) complexes immobilized on amino acid grafted cross-linked poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) resin has been developed. Results of FTIR, Raman, NMR, XPS, XRD, EDX, SEM, BET, TGA, and elemental analysis confirmed the successful anchoring of triperoxidoniobium(V), [Nb(O2)3]? species to the host polymer via the pendant amino acid groups. The supported catalysts exhibited excellent performance in epoxidation of styrene and a range of cyclic and terpenic compounds under environmentally acceptable solvent-free condition, with aqueous H2O2 as oxidant. The catalytic protocols provided excellent conversion to the desired epoxide (up to 100%) with selectivity > 99%, TON as high as 1000, and high H2O2 utilization efficiency (92–97%). Moreover, the catalysts efficiently facilitated chemoselective solvent-free oxidation of a variety of thioethers to sulfones at room temperature. Simple operational strategy, easy recyclability for multiple reaction cycles with the consistent activity-selectivity profile are the additional significant attributes of the developed catalytic processes.

Modulation of photochemical oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides or sulfones using an aromatic ketone as the photocatalyst
We have developed an eco-friendly and chemo-selective photocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via oxidation of sulfides (thioethers) at ambient temperature using air or O2 as the oxidant. An inexpensive thioxanthone was used as the photocatalyst. Our method offers excellent chemical yields and good functional group tolerance. The hydrogen bonding between hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and sulfoxides may play an important role in minimizing the over-oxidization of sulfoxides.

However, 2 is built by two divacant SiW10O37 units and two rare trivacant [SiW9O35]12- (SiW9O35) fragments and further installs an unprecedented Ti10O11 ({Ti10}) double-wheel cluster. To the best of our knowledge, 2 is rare in POM chemistry. Studies on the catalytic oxidation properties reveal that 1 exhibits high catalytic activity toward the oxidation of various sulfides using H2O2 as an oxidant.

Niobium(V) oxido tris-carbamate as easily available and robust catalytic precursor for the selective sulfide to sulfone oxidation
The oxidation of the sulfide function promoted by a variety of vanadium compounds has been largely explored, whereas the use of homogeneous catalytic systems based on the heavier group 5 metals remains less explored. We report the use of easily available niobium and tantalum carbamates, i.e. [M(O2CNMe2)5] (M = Nb, 1; M = Ta, 2), [Nb(O2CNMe2)4], 3, [NbO(O2CNEt2)3], 4, and [NbCl3(O2CNEt2)2], 5, as effective catalysts for the conversion of a series of alkyl aryl and aromatic sulfides into the corresponding sulfones. NMR investigations on the performant niobium catalyst 4 unexpectedly revealed the substantial stability of this compound in the protic catalytic environment, and a plausible catalytic cycle was obtained by DFT studies. The two active catalytic species, i.e. 4 and its minor mono-methoxide derivative, presumably interconvert to each other exploiting the versatile coordination of the carbamato ligand.

Efficient Catalytic Oxidative Desulfurization toward Thioether and Sulfur Mustard Stimulant by Polyoxomolybdate-Resorcin[4]arene-Based Metal-Organic Materials
The design and synthesis of effective and recyclable oxidative desulfurization catalysts is of great importance in view of environmental protection and human health. Herein, a family of polyoxomolybdate-based inorganic-organic hybrid materials, namely, [Mn(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (1), [Ni(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (2), [Zn(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (3), and [Co2(TMR4A)2(H2O)4(β-Mo8O26)]·CH3CN·12H2O (4), were assembled by the functionalized resorcin[4]arene ligand (TMR4A) with polyoxomolybdate and metal ions under solvothermal conditions. In isostructural 1-3, the [M(TMR4A)(H2O)4]2+ species (M = MnII, NiII, ZnII) and [Mo6O19]2- anions are held together via C-H···O hydrogen bonds to give a 3D supramolecular architecture. In 4, two [Co(TMR4A)(H2O)2]2+ cations were linked by one [β-Mo8O26]4- anion to produce an attractive molecular dimer. Remarkably, 1-4, as recyclable heterogeneous catalysts, exhibit efficient catalytic oxidation desulfurization activities toward thioethers. Particularly, 1, as a representative example, features selective catalytic oxidation for sulfur mustard simulant. Moreover, their electrochemical properties were also studied.

Synthesis method of sulfone compound
The invention discloses a synthesis method of a sulfone compound. The synthesis method specifically comprises the following steps: taking a compound shown as formula (I) as a reaction raw material, Ru/C as a catalyst, NaIO4 as an oxidant and water as a solvent, reacting at room temperature, and after the reaction is finished, carrying out after-treatment on an obtained reaction solution to obtainthe sulfone compound shown as formula (II), wherein the use amount of Ru/C is 0.5-2% of the molar amount of the compound shown in the formula (I) in terms of the molar amount of Ru; the molar amount of NaIO4 is 50-150% of the molar amount of the compound represented by formula (I). Under normal temperature conditions, cheap ruthenium carbon is oxidized by sodium periodate to generate ruthenium tetroxide, so that a thioether compound is further oxidized to synthesize the sulfone compound, the yield is close to 100 %, the subsequent treatment is simple, and a pure product can be obtained withoutcomplex separation and purification. Therefore, the method is more efficient, faster, more environmentally friendly and milder.

Oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen: Controllable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones
The recent development of selective oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen was highlighted. The sulfoxides and sulfones could be obtained by simply switching the reaction media, i.e., bis(2-butoxyethyl)ether (BBE) or poly(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether (PEGDME). The application of the high-boiling-point polyether as an initiator and green media can eliminate the need of large quantities of additives and volatile solvents. This strategy represents an economic and eco-friendly method that could find potential applications.

Three novel Zr-substituted polyoxotungstate aggregates [H2N(CH3)2]7NaH2[Zr2Sb2O3(A-α-PW9O34)2]·16H2O (1), [H2N(CH3)2]6H12[ZrSb4(OH)O2(A-α-PW8O32)(A-α-PW9O34)]2·33H2O (2), and [H2N(CH3)2]4Na11.5H4.5[Zr4W8Sb4P5O49(OH)5(B-α-SbW9O33)2]·53H2O (3) have been made in hydrothermal reactions of the [B-α-SbW9O33]9- precursor with Zr4+ cations and PO43- anions in the presence of dimethylamine hydrochloride and sodium acetate buffer (pH = 4.8) and structurally characterized. Different pH values induce structural transformation from tungstoantimonate (TA) to tungstophosphate (TP). 1 is a di-Zr-substituted sandwich-type TP, the tetranuclear heterometallic [Zr2Sb2O3]8+ entity sandwiched by two [A-α-PW9O34]9- moieties. 2 is a double sandwich-type structure, which can be perceived as two equivalent sandwiched [Sb3(PW8O32)(PW9O34)]11- further sandwiching one [Sb2Zr2(OH)2O4]4+ core to form a novel large-size sandwich-type architecture. Different from 1 and 2, 3 is a tetra-Zr-substituted sandwiched configuration, in which two [B-α-SbW9O33]9- fragments sandwich a unique 21-core Sb-P-W-Zr oxo cluster ({Zr4W8Sb4P5}). Furthermore, the catalytic oxidation of aromatic thioethers by 3 as the heterogeneous catalyst has been investigated, showing high conversion and remarkable selectivity as well as excellent recyclability.

A series of eight rare-earth substituted antimony tungstates with the formulae [((RE)4(H2O)6Sb6O4)(SbW10O37)2(SbW8O31)2]22– [(RE)III = Y(1), Gd(2), Tb(3), Dy(4), Ho(5), Er(6), Tm(7), Yb(8)] has been synthesized under ambient conditions. The compounds were isolated using rare-earth salts and Na9[B-α-SbW9O33]?19.5 H2O as precursors along with sodium dihydrogen phosphate in 1 M NaCl solution. The addition of dihydrogen phosphate was found to be a crucial step for the isolation of these polyanions. The polyanions were characterized by various analytical techniques such as single crystal X-ray diffraction (1a – 6a) (SC-XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The compounds were found to show efficient heterogeneous catalytic activity for oxidation of thioethers.

Highly stable polyoxometalate-resorcin[4]arene-based inorganic-organic complexes for catalytic oxidation desulfurization
Self-assembly of a resorcin[4]arene-based ligand (TMR4A) with metal salts and H3PMo12O40·xH2O offers two isostructural complexes, namely, [Ni2Cl(TMR4A)2(CH3CN)2]·[PMo12O40]·4CH3CN (1) and [Co2Cl(TMR4A)2(CH3CN)2]·[PMo12O40]·4CH3CN (2). In both 1 and 2, one Cl? anion bridges two metal cations, and each metal cation is further chelated by four 2-mercaptopyridine N-oxide groups of one TMR4A, producing a [M2Cl(TMR4A)2]3+ dimer (M?=?Ni or Co). The negative [PMo12O40]3? as a counter-anion balances the positive charge. Markedly, 1 and 2 exhibit high stability in aqueous solutions with different pH values and in organic solvents. Remarkably, the efficient heterogeneous catalytic capability for oxidative desulfurization was studied by suing 1 and 2 as recycled catalysts. Moreover, the electrochemical behaviors of the two compounds were discussed as well.

Two remarkable polyoxometalate-bridged Cu(I)- and Ag(I)-thiacalix[4]arene dimers, namely, [Cu4(SiW12O40)(L)2(DMF)2]·2EtOH·DMF (1-Cu) and [Ag4(PMo12O40)(L)2]·OH (1-Ag), were prepared by using a new thiacalix[4]arene, metal cation and polyoxometalate (L = tetra[2-(ethylthio)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole]-thiacalix[4]arene). In 1-Cu and 1-Ag, two thiacalix[4]arenes were linked together by one [SiW12O40]4- or [PMo12O40]3- anion via two metal cations to give a molecular dimer. Further, adjacent dimers were extended into a high-dimensional supramolecular architecture through hydrogen bonds. Markedly, these molecular dimers are exceedingly stable in organic solvents and then were employed as efficient catalysts for catalytic oxidation desulfurization as well as the azide-alkyne "click" reaction.

Water-soluble polymer anchored peroxotitanates as environmentally clean and recyclable catalysts for mild and selective oxidation of sulfides with H2O2 in water
Anchoring of peroxotitanium (pTi) species to linear water-soluble acrylic acid based polymers, poly(sodium acrylate) (PA) and poly(sodium methacrylate) (PMA) led to the successful synthesis of a pair of new, water-tolerant and recyclable catalysts of the type [Ti2(O2)2O2(OH)2]4-—L (L = PA or PMA), highly effective in chemoselective sulfoxidation of organic sulfides with 30% H2O2 in aqueous medium at ambient temperature. The catalytic protocol is high yielding (TOF up to 11,280 h?1), operationally simple as well as environmentally clean and safe, being free from halide, or any other toxic auxiliaries. The catalysts are sufficiently stable to afford easy recyclability for at least 10 consecutive reaction cycles of sulfoxidation with consistent activity selectivity profile. Oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) to respective high purity sulfoxide or sulfone could also be accomplished using the same catalysts by variation of reaction conditions.

Two Ce3+-Substituted Selenotungstates Regulated by N, N-Dimethylethanolamine and Dimethylamine Hydrochloride
Two multi-Ce3+-substituted selenotungstates (STs), [HDMEA][H2N(CH3)2]4H3Na4[Ce2(H2O)6(DMEA)W4O9(α-SeW9O33)3]·26H2O (1) and [H2N(CH3)2]10H4Na10[Ce2W4O9(H2O)7(α-SeW9O33)3]2·63H2O (2), were prepared by the one-pot approach of sodium tungstate, sodium selenite, and lanthanide nitrate in an acidic water solution in the presence of N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DMEA) or dimethylamine hydrochloride (DMAHC). 1 was obained in the presence of DMEA, whereas 2 was synthesized in the presence of DMAHC. The trimeric polyoxoanion of 1 contains an unusual V-shaped [Se3W29O103]20- group embracing a prominent heterometal oxide fragment, [Ce2(H2O)6(DMEA)W2O5]8+, and the hexameric polyoxoanion of 2 is constructed from two equivalent trimeric [Ce2W4O9(H2O)7(SeW9O33)3]2 24- subunits through two -O-W-O-Ce-O- linkages. The most worthy of attention is that the polyoxoanion of 1 can be approximatively viewed as a half of the polyoxoanion of 2 because of the coordination and blocking effect of DMEA. The stability of 1 and 2 in different water pH values was studied by electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), and the results manifest that 1 and 2 are stable in pH = 3.5-7.5 and 3.5-7.0, respectively. The oxidation reactions of aromatic sulfides catalyzed by H2O2 were studied when 1 or 2 worked as a catalyst, and experimental results reveal that 1 or 2 can serve as available catalysts for the oxidation of aromatic sulfides under mild conditions.

A number of sulfides containing alcohol, ester, and aldehyde functional groups were fruitfully and selectively oxidized without altering the desired characteristics. The magnetic nanocatalyst (Fe3O4/PEG-SO3H) can be conveniently and swiftly retrieved through the utilization of an external magnetic tool and recycled for more than 10 reaction runs without significantly decreasing its catalytic behavior.

Heptamolybdate: A highly active sulfide oxygenation catalyst
The sulfide oxygenation activities of both heptamolybdate ([Mo7O24]6-, [1]6-) and its peroxo adduct [Mo7O22(O2)2]6- ([2]6-) were examined in this contribution. [Mo7O22(O2)2]6- was prepared in a yield of 65% from (NH4)6[Mo7O24] (1a) upon treatment of 10 equiv. of H2O2 and structurally identified through single crystal X-ray diffraction study. (nBu4N)6[Mo7O22(O2)2] (2b) is an efficient catalyst for the sequential oxygenation of methyl phenyl sulfide (MPS) by H2O2 to the corresponding sulfoxide and subsequently sulfone with a 100% utility of H2O2. Surprisingly, (nBu4N)6[Mo7O24] (1b) is a significantly faster catalyst than 2b for MPS oxygenation under identical conditions. The pseudo-first order kcat constants from initial rate kinetics are 54 M-1 s-1 and 19 M-1 s-1 for 1b and 2b, respectively. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) investigation of 1b under the catalytic reaction conditions revealed that [Mo2O11]2- is likely the main active species in sulfide oxygenation by H2O2.

A general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction
Herein we report a general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction. Using electricity as the driving force, this protocol employs a simple and inexpensive halogen source, such as NBS, CBrCl3, CH2I2, CCl4, LiCl and NaBr for the halogenation of aryl diazonium salts. In addition, we found that these electrochemical reactions could be performed using anilines as the starting material in a one-pot fashion. Furthermore, the practicality of this process was demonstrated in the multigram scale synthesis of aryl halides using highly inexpensive graphite as the electrode. A series of detailed mechanism studies have been performed, including radical clock and radical scavenger study, cyclic voltammetry analysis and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis.

Conformational Aspects in the Design of Inhibitors for Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT): Biphenyl, Aryl Sulfonamide, and Aryl Sulfone Motifs
Malaria remains a major threat to mankind due to the perpetual emergence of resistance against marketed drugs. Twenty-one pyrazolopyran-based inhibitors bearing terminal biphenyl, aryl sulfonamide, or aryl sulfone motifs were synthesized and tested towards serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), a key enzyme of the folate cycle. The best ligands inhibited Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Arabidopsis thaliana (At) SHMT in target, as well as PfNF54 strains in cell-based assays in the low nanomolar range (18–56 nm). Seven co-crystal structures with P. vivax (Pv) SHMT were solved at 2.2–2.6 ? resolution. We observed an unprecedented influence of the torsion angle of ortho-substituted biphenyl moieties on cell-based efficacy. The peculiar lipophilic character of the sulfonyl moiety was highlighted in the complexes with aryl sulfonamide analogues, which bind in their preferred staggered orientation. The results are discussed within the context of conformational preferences in the ligands.

An environmentally benign and selective electrochemical oxidation of sulfides and thiols in a continuous-flow microreactor
A practical and environmentally benign electrochemical oxidation of thioethers and thiols in a commercially-available continuous-flow microreactor is presented. Water is used as the source of oxygen to enable the oxidation process. The oxidation reaction utilizes the same reagents in all scenarios and the selectivity is solely governed by the applied potential. The procedure exhibits a broad scope and good functional group compatibility providing access to various sulfoxides (15 examples), sulfones (15 examples) and disulfides (6 examples). The use of continuous flow allows the optimal reaction parameters (e.g. residence time, applied voltage) to be rapidly assessed, to avoid mass- and heat-transfer limitations and to scale the electrochemistry.

In this work, a new tridentate Schiff base dioxo-molybdenum(VI) complex immobilized on silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MoO25CML–Fe3O4@SiO2) has been synthesized and characterized using different techniques such as FTIR, TGA, AAS, ICP–AES, XRD, VSM, EDX and SEM analyses. The catalytic activity of synthesized complex was examined in the oxidation of various sulfides in the presence of H2O2 as cheap, green and eco-friendly oxidant. This catalytic system provides high conversion and selectivity toward either sulfoxides or sulfones under different conditions. Also, the nanocatalyst could be easily separated and regenerated from reaction media by external magnet and could be reused for ten times without significant loss of the activity and selectivity.
