	abstract = {<p>Several molybdenum(VI) dioxo complexes have been investigated as catalyst precursors for allylic alcohol epoxidation using mainly hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. All catalysts proved to be efficient and selective for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols provided the olefins were rather electron rich. Indeed, electron poor substrates could be converted selectively into the corresponding unsaturated aldehydes. A chiral dioxomolybdenum complex based on an optically pure tridentate Schiff base ligand was synthesized and characterized. Though that complex provided an efficient epoxidation catalyst for allylic alcohols and olefins, no chiral induction was observed. During the X-ray diffraction analysis, the cooling at 100 K led to the appearance of super-lattice reflections on diffraction patterns reflecting an ordering of the structure. Instead of one organometallic species observed at 298 K, three similar complexes of the same molecular structure could be observed in the asymmetric unit at 100 K. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

	abstract = {<p>A one pot synthesis of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles (NPs supported on bioderived carbon microspheres is reported. The catalyst was synthesized by the low temperature hydrothermal (LTH) method using D-glucose and bagasse as the carbon source. The carbonization of bagasse resulted in the formation of nonuniform carbon microspheres while glucose resulted in uniform carbon spheres. SEM and STEM elemental mapping show the uniform distribution of molybdenum oxide NPs over the carbon microspheres. XPS spectroscopy confirmed that molybdenum was in the Mo6+ oxidation state. The 1\% MoO3 supported on carbon microspheres derived from D-glucose showed excellent catalytic activity up to 100\% olefin conversion with 100\% epoxide selectivity using organic tent-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. The catalyst was successfully used for up to five cycles without losing substantial activity and selectivity.</p>},
