Abstract

A novel ionic compound (3, [RuCl 4(L) 2] 3PW 12O 40) containing the Ru(III)-complex cation and α-Keggin-type phosphotungstate anion was synthesized and proven to be the efficient catalyst for aerobic oxidations of alcohols free of base and nitroxyl radical. Specially, 3 could be reused at least five runs without obvious activity loss. The stability of 3 was dramatically improved due to the incorporation of [PW 12O 40] 3 - as the counter-anions, leading to its available recyclability.
