Catalytic oxygenation by Ruthenium Polyoxometalates
The catalytic oxydation of DMSO has been established with ruthenium polyoxometalates (POMs). The catalytic cycle has been revealed through a combination of experiments and theory, with the key intermediate established by relativistic DFT calculations as a POM-dimer with a Ru(IV)-μ-peroxo-Ru(IV) bridge.
The paper was highlighted on the back cover of Chemistry a European Journal.
