Mechanistic Insights into Visible Light-Induced Direct Hydroxylation of Benzene to Phenol with Air and Water over Pt-Modified WO<sub>3</sub> Photocatalyst

Mechanistic Insights into Visible Light-Induced Direct Hydroxylation of Benzene to Phenol with Air and Water over Pt-Modified WO<sub>3</sub> Photocatalyst

Activation of C(sp2)-H in aromatic molecules such as benzene is one of the challenging reactions. The tungsten trioxide supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt-WO<sub>3</sub>) exhibited hydroxylation of benzene in the presence of air and H<sub>2</sub>O under visible-light (420 < λ...
