Cover Feature: Peroxo-Zr/Hf-Containing Wells-Dawson Polyoxometalates for H2O2-based Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, and Biphasic Oxidation Catalysis (ChemistryEurope 1/2024)

Abstract

Peroxo-zirconium-/hafnium-containing polyoxometalates as 3-in-1 catalysts were prepared and studied for homogeneous, heterogeneous, and biphasic oxidation catalysis with H₂O₂ as oxidant. In their Research Article, U. Kortz and co-workers evaluate the catalysts in terms of activity and product selectivity and exhibited unique profiles. Most interestingly, the catalytic results proved to be highly relevant for applications in the chemical industry, possibly paving the way for green chemical processes. The authors would like to thank Mr. Adhiraj Sundar for creating the cover artwork.
