Bicarbonate-enhanced transformation of phenol upon irradiation of hematite, nitrate, and nitrite

Bicarbonate enhances the transformation of phenol upon irradiation of hematite, and phenol nitration upon irradiation of both nitrate and nitrite. Hematite under irradiation is able to oxidise the carbonate ion to the CO3-center dot radical, which in turn oxidises phenol to the phenoxyl radical f...

Bicarbonate-enhanced transformation of phenol upon irradiation of hematite, nitrate, and nitrite
description Bicarbonate enhances the transformation of phenol upon irradiation of hematite, and phenol nitration upon irradiation of both nitrate and nitrite. Hematite under irradiation is able to oxidise the carbonate ion to the CO3-center dot radical, which in turn oxidises phenol to the phenoxyl radical faster compared to the direct photo-oxidation of phenol by hematite.
