Published: August 2023

We report that the biomass-derived lignosulfonate (LS) can function as a quasi-homogenous electron mediator to efficiently promote the electron transfer from the excited erythrosin B (ErB) to the generated Pt cocatalyst under visible light, thus enhancing the photocatalytic H evolution activity by over 10 fold as compared to the LS-free system.

Experimental observation of preferential solvation on a radical ion pair using MARY spectroscopy.

Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Graz University of Technology, Stremayrgasse 9/I, A-8010 Graz, Austria.

The effect of preferential solvation on the exciplex luminescence detected magnetic field effect has been studied using magnetic-field-effect-on-reaction-yield (MARY) spectroscopy. By designing solvent mixtures which can provide a micro-environment around the magneto-sensitive radical ion pair (RIP) from highly heterogeneous to quasi-homogenous, the effect of the polarity scan on an absolute magnetic field effect (χ(E)) and B(1/2) (the field value marking half saturation) has been studied on the system 9,10-dimethylanthracene (fluorophore)/N,N'-dimethylaniline (quencher). While the trend in χ(E) (although with subtle differences) follows the usual norm of passing through maxima with increasing polarity, the B(1/2) values show either a large monotonic decrease (for heterogeneous solvents) or remain constant (for quasi-homogenous systems) with increasing polarity.

Fe(3)O(4):PVP/Au nanocomposite synthesized via a two-step procedure was tested as a quasi-homogenous alcohol oxidation catalyst. It was found that the nanocomposite was able to carry out aerobic oxidation of alcohols in water at room temperature. Studies show rapid magnetic recoverability and reusability characteristics.
