Abstract

This Forum Article describes the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol by visible-light-absorbing colloidal CdS quantum dots (QDs), with 99% selectivity for benzaldehyde or 91% selectivity for C–C coupled products (primarily hydrobenzoin). The selectivity is tuned through the number of low-vale...
