Heterogeneous photocatalysis for synthetic purposes: oxygenation of cyclohexane with H_3PW_(12)O_(40) and (nBu_4N)_4W_(10)O_(32)supported on silica

摘要

Heterogenisation of H_3PW_(12)O_(40) and (nBu_4N)_4W_(10)O_(32) with silica provides new photocatalytic systems able to oxygenate cyclohexane with O_2 without causing the oxidative mineralization processes which typically occur on the surface of the photosensitive semiconductor TiO_2.
