Article Synopsis
  • The crystalline zirconium tungstate (ZrWO) exhibits catalytic properties particularly suited for liquid-phase selective oxidation of various organic substrates using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant.
  • Characterization techniques like N adsorption, PXRD, and IR spectroscopy indicated the presence of Brønsted acidic and basic sites on ZrWO's surface, enhancing its catalytic activity.
  • The catalyst effectively facilitates reactions such as epoxidation of alkenes, oxidation of thioethers and alcohols, and regenerates well without losing activity or selectivity.

Thermal decomposition of (NH4)3[IrCl6]·H2O, (NH4)2[IrCl6] and (NH4)2[IrBr6] in reductive and inert atmospheres has been investigated in situ using quick-EXAFS and temperature-resolved powder X-ray diffraction. For the first time, (NH4)2[Ir(NH3)Cl5] and (NH4)2[Ir(NH3)Br5] have been proven as intermediates of thermal decomposition of (NH4)3[IrCl6]·H2O, (NH4)2[IrCl6] and (NH4)2[IrBr6]. Thermal degradation of (NH4)2[IrCl6] and (NH4)2[IrBr6] is a more complex process as suggested previously and includes simultaneous formation of (NH4)2[Ir(NH3)Cl5] and (NH4)2[Ir(NH3)Br5] intermediates mixed with metallic iridium.

Solid solutions of Zr(Mo,W)O(OH,Cl)∙2HO with a preset ratio of components were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The chemical composition of the solutions was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). For all the samples of ZrMoWO(OH,Cl)∙2HO (x = 0.
