Abstract: The d-election transition metal-substituted heteropolytungstate sandwich complex [(Fe^II)₄(B–PW₉O₃₄)₂]¹⁰⁻, unlike PW₁₂O₄₀³⁻ and most polytungstophosphates, is quite stable with respect to solvolysis by H₂O₂ and catalyses the selective homogeneous epoxidation of alkenes in aqueous acetonitrile at 20°C by this oxidant.
