We report accelerated rates of oxygen-atom transfer from a polyoxovanadate-alkoxide cluster following functionalization with a 4-butylcalix[4]arene ligand. Incorporation of this electron withdrawing ligand modifies the electronics of the metal oxide core, favoring a mechanism in which the rate of oxygen-atom transfer is limited by outer-sphere electron transfer.
