Assembling molecular semiconductor composites for enhanced photocatalytic cyclohexene oxidation

Here, a molecular semiconductor composite was assembled by integrating atomically precise Ti 12 -oxo clusters and phosphotungstic acid (PTA) into a cocrystal system. A molecular heterojunction was demonstrated to form between the two units, which allows the charge separation efficiency to be enhance...

Description
Summary:Here, a molecular semiconductor composite was assembled by integrating atomically precise Ti 12 -oxo clusters and phosphotungstic acid (PTA) into a cocrystal system. A molecular heterojunction was demonstrated to form between the two units, which allows the charge separation efficiency to be enhanced, resulting in a two-fold increase in photocatalytic activity for cyclohexene oxidation compared to the physically mixed composite. A molecular semiconductor composite was assembled by integrating atomically precise Ti 12 -oxo clusters and phosphotungstic acid into a cocrystal system.
