Photoredox reactions occurring in irradiated methanolic solutions of trans-[FeIII(R,R'-salen)(CH3OH)I], where R,R'-salen2- are N,N'-ethylenebis(R,R'-salicylideneiminato), tetradentate open-chain N2O2-Schiff bases with R,R' = H, 5-Cl, 5-Br, 3,5-di-Br, 3,5-di-(CH3), 3-OCH3, 5-OCH3, have been investigated and their mechanism proposed. The complexes are redox-stable in the dark. Ultraviolet and/or visible irradiation of methanolic solution of the complexes induces photoreduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II). Depending on the composition of the irradiated solutions, •CH2OH radicals or solvated electrons were identified by the EPR spin trapping technique. The final product of the photooxidation coupled with the photoreduction of Fe(III) is formaldehyde and the molar ratio of Fe(II) and CH2O is close to 2 : 1. The efficiency of the photoredox process is strongly wavelength-dependent and influenced by the peripheral groups R,R' of the tetradentate ligands.

The photocatalytic degradation of 4-chloronitrobenzene (4-CNB) was carried out using Degussa P25 TiO2 as photocatalyst in three different gas atmospheres: nitrogen, oxygen, and ozone. The total organic carbon (TOC) and inorganic anions including chloride, nitrite, and nitrate anions were measured to monitor the mineralization processes, while the degradation of 4-CNB and the formation of intermediates were followed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency followed the order of TiO2/UV/N2 < TiO2/UV/O2 < TiO2/UV/O3, which was further proved by evaluating the reaction activities using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping technique. Chlorine atom, nitro group and hydrogen atom of the benzene ring could be displaced by hydroxyl radical (•OH) leading to the formation of chloride, nitrite (III) anions and a variety of phenols, then the nitrite (III) anions were further oxidized to nitrate (V) anions. 4-Nitrophenol and 5-chloro-2-nitrophenol were identified and quantified in both of the TiO2/UV/N2 and TiO2/UV/O2 processes while no aromatic intermediates were monitored in the process of TiO2/UV/O3.

Abstract This work was focused on the study of photoinduced processes of quinolone carboxylates in the presence of titanium dioxide in an alkaline media. UVA irradiation without/with titanium dioxide caused the decomposition of molecules, with higher efficiency of degradation in the presence of titanium dioxide. EPR spin trapping experiments proved that investigated quinolone carboxylates behave as the efficient scavengers of hydroxyl radicals produced upon irradiation of aerated alkaline titanium dioxide systems.
