Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of Ti(IV)-monosubstituted Keggin polyoxometalates
Ti(IV)-monosubstituted Keggin-type polyoxometalates (Ti-POMs), mu-oxo dimer [Bu4N](8)[(PTiW11O39)201 (1), and three monomers [Bu4N](4)[PTi(L)W11O39], where L = OH (2), OMe (3), and OAr (4, ArOH = 2,3,6-tri methylphenol (TMP)), have been prepared starting from mu-hydroxo dimer [Bu4N](7)(PPTiW11O39)(2)OH] (5) or heteropolyacid H5PW11TiO40 or both. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, and multinuclear (P-31, H-1, W-183) NMR. The interaction of 1 and 3-5 with H2O in MeCN produces 2. The hydrolysis constants, estimated from 31P and 1H NMR data, are 0.006 and 0.04 for 1 and 3, respectively. Studies by 31P NMR, IR, potentiometric titration, and cyclic voltammetry revealed that 1-3 and 5 afford the same protonated titanium peroxo complex [Bu4N](4)(HPTi(O-2)W11O39] (1) upon interaction with aqueous H2O2 in MeCN. The rates of formation of I correlate with the rates of hydrolysis of the Ti-POMs and follow the order of 5 > 1 > 3. A two-step mechanism of the reaction of Ti-POMs with H2O2, which involves hydrolysis of the Ti-L bonds to yield 2 followed by fast interaction of 2 with hydrogen peroxide producing 1, is suggested. The equilibrium constant for the reaction of 2 with H2O2 to yield I and H2O. estimated using P-31 NMR, is 10. The interaction of the Ti-POMs with TMP follows the trends similar to their interaction with H2O2 and requires preliminary hydrolysis of the Ti-L bonds. All of the Ti-POMs catalyze the oxidation of TMP with H2O2 in MeCN to give 2,3,5-trimethyl-p-benzoquinone and 2,2',3,3',5,5'-hexamethyl-4,4'-biphenol. The product distribution is similar for all of the Ti-POMs. The catalytic activities of the Ti-POMs correlate with the rates of formation of 1 and follow the order of 2 > 5 > 1 > 3. The findings lay a basis for a better understanding of the nature of the reactivity of titanium in Ti-catalyzed oxidations.
