Visible‐Light‐Induced Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols in a Coupled Photocatalytic System of Dye‐Sensitized TiO₂ and TEMPO

Abstract

Like a differential gear: Upon irradiation with visible light, excited dye molecules inject electrons into TiO2 and form dye radicals, which can oxidize TEMPO to TEMPO+, which in turn oxidizes alcohols in the presence of O2 selectively to corresponding aldehydes. One reason for the selectivity is that the irradiation is downshifted to visible light. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
