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...
