Abstract: The catalytic activities of two catalysts, (W3O2(CH3COO)6 (H2O)3) Br·2H2O and (W2MoO2(CH3COO)6 (H2O)3) Er·2H2O in the oxidation of styrene have been studied. The results showed that these two clusters have better catalytic properties than those given by Irclco(pph3)2 and Rhcl(pph3)2. The catalysts can be used repeatly without change in their structure and activities.

Key words: tungsten molybdium cluster, styrene, oxidation catalysis
