Abstract

In this chapter, TiO2 photocatalyst modified with the interfacial surface complex (ISC), which exhibits selective oxidation of several aromatic alcohols under visible-light irradiation is reviewed. It was confirmed that benzylic alcohols with several substituted groups are converted into the corresponding benzaldehydes with high selectivity (>99 %). Furthermore, the origin of the visible-light response and the reaction mechanisms for the photocatalytic oxidation of benzylic alcohols were discussed by the combination of DFT calculations. Also, effects of substituted groups in the benzylic alcohols and their orientations on the photocatalytic activities were discussed.
