The organic Keggin-structured heteropolyacid salt was synthesized by combining phosphotungstic anion with sulfonated quaternary alkylphosphonium cation. It was characterized, and catalytically evaluated in esterification. The salt has an ionic liquid-like composition but possesses a high melting-point near 200 degrees C. It exhibits high yields and selectivity for target esters in various esterification reactions. Moreover. it can be conveniently recovered and steadily reused. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
