Comparison of Composite Materials Designed to Optimize Heterogeneous Decatungstate Oxidative Photocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: Catalysis plays a pivotal role in green chemistry practices, particularly in reducing waste generated during chemical synthesis. Decatungstate (DT) emerges as a potent photocatalyst for Type I oxidations, exhibiting remarkable resilience to oxygen quenching, a characteristic that sets it apart from other excited triplet state photocatalysts. While homogeneous DT catalysis demonstrates effectiveness, its solubility poses challenges for its separation and recycling. To address these limitations, we focus on the development and comparison of heterogeneous DT photocatalysts, aiming to optimize their yield, recovery, and reusability. We synthesized tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT)-supported catalysts using silica, alumina, titanium dioxide, and glass wool and characterized them using di
