Copper-Organic Cationic Ring with an Inserted Arsenic-Vanadium Polyanionic Cluster for Efficient Catalytic Cr-VI Reduction Using Formic Acid
Polyanionic cluster [beta-As8V14O42(H2O)](4-) is well embedded in a large porous eight-membered cationic ring of the copper ligand, giving a stable host-guest supramolecular system. The assembly exhibits an efficient heterogeneous catalytic performance for the reduction of Cr-VI using formic acid at ambient temperature.
