Terminal Oxygen as a Proton Acceptor: S–H Activation via Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer in Decavanadate-Catalyzed P(O)–S Coupling

Polyoxometalates-catalyzed P–S oxidative coupling under mild conditions has emerged as a promising sustainable route to thiophosphates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This work reveals that the decavanadate cluster-catalyzed oxidative coupling between phosphine oxide and thiophenol involves four elementary ste...
