A Supramolecular Catalyst Self-Assembled From Polyoxometalates and Cationic Pillar[5]arenes for the Room Temperature Oxidation of Aldehydes

Oxidizing aldehydes to generate carboxylic acids is a crucial reaction in nature and in chemical industry. The aldehyde oxidation, an easily achieved process in liver cells, is inert toward autoxidation in industrial production and difficultly achieved under enzymatic condition (in water, at pH 7, a...
