Abstract A peroxo polyoxometalate‐based catalyst was synthesized, characterized, and employed as a catalyst in the epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). During the reaction, the insoluble catalyst became soluble and an emulsion formed to promote the epoxidation process. Then the emulsion broke and the catalyst precipitated for reuse easily.
