The development of catalytic oxovanadium(IV)-containing microspheres for the oxidation of various organosulfur compounds

- Successful fabrication of polymer beads containing a tetradentate ligand.
- Successful incorporation of oxovanadium(IV) within the beads.
- Significant oxidation of the refractory sulfur compounds was reported.
- EPR indicated that most of the V(V) was recycled back to V(IV) after oxidation.
