Manipulating Photocatalytic Oxidation Reaction Selectivity and Pathway by Simultaneous Harvesting of Ag+, Hot Holes, and Reactive Oxygen Species by Shivangee Rai, Avijit Pramanik, Olorunsola Praise Kolawole, Kaelin Gates, Sanchita Kundu, Paresh Chandra Ray

“…Although Plasmon‐based photocatalyst has been employed for designing novel molecules, achieving control over the reaction selectivity has remained a challenge. Herein, the control unravels over the photocatalytic selective oxidation reaction of 4‐amino thiophenol (4‐ATP) to 4‐nitrothiophenol (4‐NTP) or 4,4′‐dimercaptoazoxybenzene (4,4′‐DMAoxB) or 4,4′‐dimercaptoazobenzene (4,4′‐DMAB) under 670 nm visible light irradiation. …”
