研究目的
To exploit the surface complex created by the interaction between organic molecules with binding sites and accommodating surface of TiO2 for visible light-driven selective aerobic oxidation reactions, specifically discovering and characterizing the NHPI-TiO2 complex and applying it in the selective oxidation of amines into imines.
研究成果
The NHPI-TiO2 complex is an effective visible light photocatalyst for selective aerobic oxidation of amines to imines, with high conversion and selectivity. The cooperative role of TEMPO and the identification of superoxide radicals as key reactive species provide insights into the mechanism. This work demonstrates the potential of TiO2 surface complexes in photocatalysis and suggests further exploration of surface ligands and cooperative catalysts for diverse applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific conditions such as the use of blue LED light and CH3CN solvent, and may not be generalizable to other light sources or solvents. The stability and recyclability of the photocatalyst showed a slight decrease after multiple cycles, indicating potential degradation. The mechanism relies on the presence of TEMPO as a cooperative catalyst, which might not be applicable to all systems.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing a surface complex between NHPI and TiO2 for visible light photocatalysis, using blue LED irradiation and TEMPO as a cooperative catalyst for selective aerobic oxidation reactions. Theoretical models include ligand-to-metal charge transfer and cooperative photocatalysis strategies.

Equipment includes ultrasonicator, magnetic stirrer, rotary evaporator, vacuum pump, TEM, HRTEM, XPS, PXRD, UV-vis spectrometer, ATR-FTIR, GC-FID, GC-MS, ESR spectrometer, blue LEDs (3 W, Shenzhen Ouying Lighting Science and Technology Co., Ltd.), Pyrex reactor. Materials include TiO2, NHPI, TEMPO, amines, CH3CN, DMPO, p-benzoquinone, AgNO3, CD3CN.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Preparation of NHPI-TiO2 complex involved ultrasonication and stirring of TiO2 with NHPI in CH3CN for 12 h under dark conditions, followed by collection. Photocatalytic reactions involved mixing NHPI-TiO2, TEMPO, amine, and solvent in a Pyrex reactor, stirring in dark for equilibrium, then irradiating with blue LEDs while stirring and supplying air. Products were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS after centrifugation.
