Abstract: A molybdenum-tungsten mixed-coordinated polyoxometalate, 3-(1-heptyl-3-methyl-imidazolium) heteropolyoxomolybdotungstate [Smim]3[PMoW3O24] was synthesized and characterized. The epoxidation of alkenes was successfully catalyzed by a recyclable and environmentally benign catalytic system:[Smim]3[PMoW3O24]/UHP(urea-hydrogen peroxide)/[Smim]PF6/cyclohexene. This catalytic system not only catalyze homogeneous epoxidation of cyclohexene, but also used recyclable room temperature ionic liquid as a novel solvent instead of conventional organic reaction media. The yield could reach more than 93%. The catalyst and ionic liquid could be easily recovered and reused after the reaction.

Key words: heteropolyoxomolybdotungstate, cyclohexene, epoxidation
