Abstract
The aerobic photocatalysed oxidation of alkanes in the presence of dec atungstates Q(4)W(10)O(32) (Q = Na, Me(4)N, Pr4N, Bu(4)N, Hex(4)N) lea ds to hydroperoxides as primary products, Nitrile solvents and organic counter-ions of the catalyst compete in this photooxidation with alka ne substrate, The influence of this competition on quantum yield, rate and selectivity for the oxidation of adamantane is quantitatively eva luated. A catalytic cycle, describing the formation of primary and sec ondary oxidation products, is proposed.
