In this review, we have summarized our work on the immobilization of molybdovanadophosphoric acids onto mesoporous silica and mesoporous carbon by different approaches such as amine functionalization and ionic liquid functionalization. All catalyst materials were well characterized by various ex-situ and in situ techniques for their structural integrity and physico-chemical properties. These materials were tested in different selective oxidation processes to develop environmentally benign protocols for the synthesis of fine chemicals and tried to study their mechanisms.
