Summary:Benzonitrile (PhCN) was successfully reduced to benzyl amine in acidic aqueous suspensions of a palladium (Pd)-loaded titanium( iv ) oxide (TiO 2 ) photocatalyst in the presence of oxalic acid as a hole scavenger, although the reduction potential of PhCN is believed to be much higher than the potential of the conduction band (CB) of TiO 2 , indicating that a Pd co-catalyst strongly contributes to PhCN reduction and that the applicability of photocatalytic reduction is not limited by the CB position of semiconductor photocatalysts. Benzonitrile was successfully reduced to benzyl amine in acidic aqueous suspensions of a palladium-loaded titanium( iv ) oxide photocatalyst in the presence of oxalic acid as a hole scavenger.
