Introduction

Heteropoly acids (HPAs) and their salts are useful acid and oxidation catalysts for various reactions and there are already many practical applications (1-3). One of the most interesting aspects may be the fact that they can be used in various kinds of reaction media or fields. Furthermore, they can be active solid acid catalysts and can provide unique reaction fields such as a pseudoliquid that is a "catalytically active solid solvent". HPA catalysts will find more green and sustainable applications in the future (4). Solid HPAs possess purely Bronsted acidity and are stronger than the usual mineral acids such as [H.sub.2]S[O.sub.4], HCl, ...
