Synthesis and characterization of a new polyoxometalate nanocluster containing Mo and V as an environmentally green catalyst for oxidative degradation of organic pollutants from aquatic environments

A water‐insoluble Keggin‐type polyoxomolybdovanadate nanocluster, (Et 4 N) 4 [VMo 12 O 40 ]·MeCN ( 1 ) was synthesized and crystallized in acetonitrile. The catalyst was characterized by X‐ray crystallography, UV–Vis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and FT‐IR techniques. Degradation of organic dyes, Amido black 10B (AB10B) and Methylene blue (MB) was investigated by 1 /H 2 O 2 system at room temperature and the...
