Selective oxidation of small abundant hydrocarbons is the most important type of reaction in organic chemicals production. For example, essentially all building blocks for the manufacture of plastics and synthetic fibers are produced by oxidation of hydrocarbons [129], Among these, oxidations by molecular oxygen play a particularly important role [130,131], A key problem is the product specificity in the reactions of hydrocarbon with 02 here, photoassisted processes hold special promise. Photoinitiated reactions of 02 furnish access to products that in many cases cannot be obtained by a dark reaction of 02. Moreover, photochemical reactions can be conducted at or around ambient temperature, thus minimizing the chance for loss of product specificity due to secondary thermal chemistry of the initial products.

In recent years, electrochemical metallization of semiconductors [500-502], including photoassisted processes [503, 504], has been investigated extensively. The experience gained in these experiments on the controlled deposition of ultrathin films is yet to be applied to HTSCs.
