Abstract

Photoirradiation (λ ex> 300 nm) of platinized TiO 2 suspended in Ar-purged acetonitrile solution of aliphatic and aromatic primary amines produced Schiff bases together with H 2 and NH 3 at room temperature. Solvent acetonitrile was partly reduced on the Pt site to inhibit the reduction of the Schiff bases into secondary amines.
