Abstract

A computational and experimental analysis of HAT mechanism to obtain carboxylic acid via photooxidation of aldehyde is described, using a homemade reactor. The considered photocatalysts are organic dyes such as 2-chloroanthraquinone (2-ClAQN), rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), fluorescein (Fl), and eosin B (EOB); and the light spectrum is that of the visible light.
