The overall goal of our DOE-funded research is to develop a chemical paradigm for polyoxoanion-supported transition-metal catalysis, with an emphasis on small molecule (H{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}) catalytic activation and functionalization (CH{sub 4}, RH). Sub-goals or sub-projects include solution (i.e. homogeneous) catalysis studies, and then the preparation and study where warranted of a new class of novel, polyoxoanion-based solid-state (heterogeneous) catalysts. Kinetic and mechanistic studies are an integral part of this work. The sub-projects are: catalytic and mechanistic studies of H{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, CH{sub 4} and other alkane activations, O{sub 2} activation and catalytic oxidations using (1,5-COD)Ir{center dot}P{sub 2}W{sub 15}Nb{sub 3}O{sub 62}{sup 8{minus}}, and alkane, olefin and arene hydroxylations by P{sub 2}W{sub 17}O{sub 61}MnO{sub 61}{sup 7{minus}} and PhIO.
