Reaction Pathways in Heterogeneous Photoreforming of Tertiary Alcohols — •Moritz Eder, Carla Courtois, Kordula Schnabl, Constantin A. Walenta, Martin Tschurl, and Ueli Heiz — Chair of Physical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry & Catalysis Research Center, Technische Universität München, Lichtenbergstraße 4, 85748 Garching, Germany

Tertiary alcohols are an ideal model system to investigate mechanisms in photocatalysis. Being organic hydroxyl carriers, they are suitable precursor materials for waste-water purification and biomass conversion. In this talk, we present our most recent results on platinum-loaded titania(110). It is shown that semiconductor photocatalysis selectively enables new reaction pathways, which are not accessible by thermal or conventional chemical methods.
