Controllable Assembly of Vanadium-Containing Polyoxoniobate-Based Materials and Their Electrocatalytic Activity for Selective Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: During the controllable synthesis of two vanadium-containing Keggin-type polyoxoniobates (PONbs), [Ni(en)₂]₅[PNb₁₂O₄₀(VO)₅](OH)₅·18H₂O (1) and [Ni(en)₃]₅[PNb₁₂O₄₀(VO)₂]∙17H₂O (2, en = ethylenediamine) are realized by changing the vanadium source and hydrothermal temperature. Compounds 1 and 2 have been thoroughly characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, FT-IR spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), etc. Compound 1 contains a penta-capped Keggin-type polyoxoniobate {PNb₁₂O₄₀(VO)₅}, which is connected by adjacent [Ni(en)_2</
