Abstract

Photocatalytic fixation of CO2 into organic substrates was carried out in a CO2-saturated DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) solution using CdS nanocrystallites prepared in DMF (CdS–DMF, mean diameter = 4 nm, hexagonal) as a photocatalyst under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). Benzilic acid (BpCO2H), atrolactic acid [methyl(phenyl)glycolic; ApCO2H] and phenylacetic acid (BnCO2H) were produced from benzophenone, acetophenone and benzyl halides such as benzyl bromide (BnBr) and benzyl chloride (BnCl), respectively. The formation of CO2 anion radical (CO2˙-) was confirmed by EPR spectroscopic measurements by using 5,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydropyrrole N-oxide (DMPO) as a spin trapping agent. Both the formation of CO2˙- and the concurrent one-electron reduction of the organic substrates were indispensable in the photofixation process, which suggests that the photofixation proceeds via their bimolecular coupling on the surface of CdS nanocrystallites.
