title: In Situ, Simultaneous Irradiation and Monitoring of a Photocatalyzed Organic Oxidation Reaction in a TiO2-Coated NMR Tube.
abstract: The semiconductor photocatalyzed (SPC) oxidation of toluene is performed inside an NMR spectrometer and the reaction is monitored simultaneously in situ, using a fiber optic probe/diffuser to provide the UV light to activate the titania photocatalyst coating on the inside of the NMR tube. Such a system has great potential for the simple rapid screening of a wide range of SPC mediated organic reactions.
