A novel polyoxovanadate-based Co-MOF: highly efficient and selective oxidation of a mustard gas simulant by two-site synergetic catalysis

A polyoxovanadate-based cobalt organic framework (V–Co-MOF) was synthesized and it, as a heterogeneous catalyst, can catalyze the rapid selective oxidation of a mustard gas simulant to a non-toxic product by the two-site synergistic effect of V^Vand Co^II.
