Photo-induced oxidation reactions on oxide surfaces have been discussed in reviews by Bickley (206, 405) and by Formenti and Teichner (406). It is characteristic of these reactions that the energy of the irradiating light needs to be not less than that of the absorption band of the oxide. Under these conditions both electrons and holes are produced, which can then react with molecules adsorbed on the surface. Since in some cases the surface lattice ions can absorb light at an energy less than the bulk oxide (7), photo-oxidation may be observed at lower wavelengths than expected from the bulk absorption band. 

The mechanism of photo-oxidation of alcohols over Ti02 is not certain. Bickley (206, 405) postulates that the oxidation of isopropanol occurs via attack by OJ to form an aldehydic intermediate, which is then further oxidized by H202 or OH- to form acetone whereas Formenti and Teichner (406) suggest that oxidation occurs via a mononuclear oxygen species which at higher temperatures may involve activated lattice ions (417). This latter suggestion is very similar to the work on UV formation of O ions on the surface in a variety of oxides which have been reviewed previously (1).
