What is it about?

TiO2 was prepared by sol–gel method through the hydrolysis of TiCl4 and its surface derivatization was carried out with molecular catalyst like Hemin (chloro(protoporhyinato)iron(III)). Catalyst was characterized by various analytical techniques like UV–vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, FE-SEM and XRD. and phocatalytic activity also evaluated.

Why is it important?

Hemin is anchored on TiO2 surface by Odouble bond; length as m-dashCsingle bondOsingle bondTi bond. The Fe3+ ion traps the electron and it gets detrapped to adsorbed O2 molecule. Enhanced activity at pH 3 is due to both TiO2 mediated and Fenton type of reaction.
