Intercalation catalysts, owing to their modular and accessible gallery and unique interlamellar chemical environment, have shown a wide range of app
lications in various catalytic reactions. However, the poor mass-transfer between the active components of the intercalated catalysts and organic substrates is one of the challenges that
limit their further app
lications. A novel heterogeneous catalyst was fabricated by intercalating the active polyoxometalate (POM) into the ionic-
liquid-modified layered double hydroxides (LDHs). This novel intercalation catalyst demonstrates high activity and selectivity for epoxidation of various ally
lic alcohols in the presence of H
2O
2 under mild conditions. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y.-F.
