Jatupisarnpong %J Applied Petrochemical Research %@ 2190-5533 %D 2013 %I %R 10.1007/s13203-012-0023-5 %X Acidic and cesium salts of polyoxometalate (POM) with and without vanadium supported on MCM-41 were synthesized and their catalytic activities were investigated in the oxidation of cyclohexane with H2O2 under solvent-free condition. The products are cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. The catalytic activity order is: CsVPOM/MCM > HVPOM/MCM > CsPOM/MCM ~ HPOM/MCM > CsVPOM > CsPOM catalysts. High conversion and selectivity to cyclohexanone over the supported catalysts are due to redox property and high surface area. These heterogeneous catalysts can be reused. %K Polyoxometalate %K Oxidation %K Cyclohexane %K Hydrogen peroxide %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13203-012-0023-5
