Hydroxylation of benzophenone with ammonium phosphomolybdate in the solid state via UV photoactivation.
UV photoactivation of a mixture of benzophenone and ammonium phosphomolybdate (APM) in the solid state splits adsorbed moisture, resulting in selectively hydroxylated benzophenone and leaving an electron trapped in green (reduced) solid APM.
