A polymer supported peroxomolybdate (VI) compound of the type [MoO2 (O2)(CN) 2]–PAN [PAN= poly (acrylonitrile)](PANMo) was obtained by reacting H2MoO4 with 30% H2O2 and the macromolecular ligand, PAN at near neutral pH. The macrocomplex has been characterized by elemental analysis (CHN and EDX analysis), spectral (IR, UV–Vis and 13C NMR, 95Mo NMR), thermal (TGA-DTG) as well as SEM studies. The catalytic activity of ...
