Abstract

Keggin-type heteropolyacid cesium salts have been regarded as potential candidates for heterogeneous catalytic reactions. This review describes the success of Keggin-type heteropolyacids cesium salts (Cs-HPA salts) as efficient catalysts in various synthesis processes. The Cs-HPA catalysts can be synthesized as solid salts through the metathesis of a solution containing precursor HPA and another solution containing soluble Cs salt, which will give Cs-HPA salt as a solid precipitate. Alternatively, they can be also obtained from the commercial precursor HPA. In this review, all the routes to prepare the different cesium salts (i.e., saturated, lacunar, metal-doped) were described. These salts can be used in acid-catalyzed reactions (i.e., esterification, etherification, acetalization, dehydration) or oxidative transformations (oxidative esterification, oxidation, epoxidation). All of these reactions were addressed herein. Aspects related to the synthesis and characterization of these catalyst salts were discussed. This review aims to discuss the most pertinent heterogeneous catalytic systems based on Keggin HPA Cs salts. The focus was to correlate the physicochemical properties of these salts with their catalytic activity. Ultimately, the most recent advances achieved in the applications of these Cs-HPA salts as catalysts in the synthesis of industrial interest compounds were discussed. Cesium heteropoly salts are an alternative to the traditional soluble mineral acids as well as to solid-supported catalysts.
