Bridged lanthanopolyoxometalates that incorporate identical metallic centers with Keggin- Eu[PW11O39]11\u2212 and Lindqvist-type [Eu(W5O18)2]9\u2212 structures were used as catalysts for the oxidation of the most representative refractory sulfur compounds. Both compounds were able to desulfurize a multicomponent model diesel under sustainable conditions, i.e., using ionic liquid as an extraction solvent and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. However, the Lindqvist catalyst appeared to achieve complete desulfurization faster than the Keggin catalyst while using a lesser amount of catalyst and oxidant. Furthermore, the reusable capacity of the Lindqvist-type [Eu(W5O18)2]9\u2212 was confirmed for consecutive oxidative desulfurization processes. The contribution of the lanthanide metallic center for the catalytic performance of these compounds was investigated by studying the analogous [TB(W5O18)2]9\u2212 compound. Identical desulfurization efficiency was obtained, even reusing this catalyst in consecutive reaction cycles. These results indicate that the active catalytic center of these compounds is probably related to the octahedral tungsten centers. However, a higher number of tungsten centers in the polyoxometalate structure did not result in higher catalytic activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/catal12060581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T08:41:33Z","timestamp":1653468093000},"page":"581","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Lindqvist versus Keggin-Type Polyoxometalates as Catalysts for Effective Desulfurization of Fuels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0684-2287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simone","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"F\u00e1tima","family":"Mirante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Baltazar de","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0986-6607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos M.","family":"Granadeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8984-0473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salete S.","family":"Balula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jiec.2019.10.020","article-title":"Review on oxidative desulfurization of fuel by supported heteropolyacid catalysts","volume":"82","author":"Li","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
