Novel inorganic-organic hybrid cluster is constructed by polyoxometalate (POMs) and iron coordination complex. Iron coordinated complex (ML1) has been synthesized by reacting iron(II)sulphate with N,N dimethylethylenediamine and salicylaldehyde in methanol. Synthesized complex [M(L1)2] (1) where M = Fe2+ coupled subsequently with H4SiMo12O40 in presence of nitric acid. Oxidation of Fe2+ into Fe3+ leads to the formation of a cationic species [Fe(L1)2]+ which is stabilized in situ by the presence of bulky [SiMo12O40]4- anion. Precipitated inorganic-organic hybrid [Fe(L1)2]4[SiMo12O40] (2) has been characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, PXRD, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The hybrid material is also investigated towards the oxidation of secondary alcohol to corresponding ketone in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The product formation has been monitored by TLC and UV-visible spectroscopy. Investigation on kinetic aspects was performed for the aforementioned organic conversion by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The catalysis used in this study is in heterogeneous fashion and concluded that catalyst can be reused minimum three times without altering the product conversion.
