Role of the heptagonal channel of crystalline Mo3VOx catalyst for the selective oxidation of acrolein and methacrolein

Crystalline orthorhombic Mo 3 VO x (MoVO) is a promising catalyst for the selective oxidation of acrolein and methacrolein. These oxidations occur on the heptagonal channel, while the catalysis field was different. This difference resulted in a significant difference in the catalytic activity.
