UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectra of heteropoly acids of the type of H4PVMo11O40.xH2O were recorded with improved spectroscopic equipment for different times on helium stream at room temperature. A broad asymmetric absorption band with a maximum at 740-780 nm in the visible range and a shoulder at 900-1000 nm in the near infrared range is identified. With increasing time on stream the inte...

This paper is a brief review of our recent research into novel uses for heteropoly compounds as precursors for thin films that can be used as catalysts and materials with good optical, conductive and other characteristics. In view of this, we have chosen thin film obtained with 12-tungsphosphoric acid on aluminum substrates. In all cases, a relatively new, microarc oxidation technique has been ...

BACKGROUND Ascorbic acid is one of the most important vitamins to monitor in dietary sources (juices and vitamins) and biological liquids. RESULTS Silica and silica-titania xerogels doped with Mo,P-heteropoly compounds (HPC) have been synthesized varying titanium(IV) and HPC content in sol. Their surface area and porosity have been studied with nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron micros...

A new efficient and practical method for the room-temperature reduction of aromatic nitro compounds employing FeSO4. 7H2O, NaBH4, H3PW12O40 system in H2O under mild conditions is reported. The method is simple, inexpensive, easily scaled-up and applicable for the large scale preparation of different substituted anilines.

Aurcularia auricular polysaccharide (AAP) is a kind of acidic heteropoly sugar containing β-D-glucan, it has good biological activities. In this paper, the main components, extraction methods and development application AAP were systematically introduced, in order to provide new ideas theoretical basis for promoting creation products AAP.

Simple, cheap and green protocol for effective conversion of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of H14[NaP5W30O110] and ammonium nitrate is reported. The products were characterized by FT-IR and comparison of their physical properties with those reported in the literatures. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) technique. The ali...
