Photoirradiation (λex>300 nm) of platinized TiO2 suspended in Ar-purged acetonitrile solution of aliphatic and aromatic primary amines produced Schiff bases together with H2 and NH3 at room temperature. Solvent acetonitrile was partly reduced on the Pt site to inhibit the reduction of the Schiff bases into secondary amines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
