A stable sandwich type Keggin polyoxometalate, Na4K5[K3Cu3(NO3)(A-alpha-PW9O34)(2)], has been synthesized and crystallized by a simple reaction method. Elemental analysis, FUR, UV-vis, X-ray single crystal, thermal gravimetry, and cyclic voltammetty were used for the characterization of synthesized POM. The TEA salt of [K3Cu3(PW9O34)(2)](9-) revealed high catalytic activity and 74-99% selectivity in the liquid phase epoxidation of alkenes with aqueous H2O2. The X-ray structure of this complex reveals that three Cu(II) ions are sandwiched between two A-alpha-PW9O34 moieties and that a nitrate monoanion is encapsulated in the same plane as the three Cu(II) atoms. The nitrate is coplanar with the three copper atoms, which are each in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. After recrystallization, the NO3- group in the central belt didn't exit, in which this phenomenon is attributed to the type of counterion in the complex (as a result of mixing Na+ and K+ as counterions). This compound showed excellent stability in different pH and also didn't dissociate with hydrogen peroxide. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
