Abstract
The activity of a vanadium-containing oligosilsesquioxane towards the photo-assisted catalytic oxidation of benzene and cyclohexane was inve stigated for the first time in order to examine its ability as an orga nic solvent-soluble analogue of silica-supported oxide catalysts. An o ligosilsesquioxane, Ib, showed excellent activity toward the selective photooxidation of cyclohexane into cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol (TO N similar to 20, at 305 K, 6 h).
