Abstract

Abstract : Novel porous TiO2 @Cu3 (BTC)2 composites, which were synthesized using ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents, exhibited excellent activity for photooxidation of styrene to 4-aryl tetralones and promoting the Glaser coupling reaction with O2 under light irradiation. Abstract : Novel porous TiO2 @Cu3 (BTC)2 composites, which were synthesized using ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents, exhibited excellent activity for photooxidation of styrene to 4-aryl tetralones and promoting the Glaser coupling reaction with O2 under light irradiation. It was discovered that the transformation between Cu 2+ and Cu + was crucial for enhancing the photocatalytic performance.
