A novel 3D open-framework copper borovanadate with a unique crown-shaped anion [(V IV O) 8 (V V O) 4 B 32 O 64 (OH) 8 ] 12- and the largest ratio of Cu 2+ /borovanadate anions (6/1) has been successfully synthesized and systematically studied. The compound not only possesses high stability in a wide pH range of 3.2-10.8 (DMF solution), but also exhibits excellent catalytic activities for selective oxidation of sulfides.
