Titanium dioxide with a mesoporous structure, when photoactivated in water, demonstrates an unprecedented photocatalytic activity, driven strongly by an adsorption degree of molecules onto the catalyst surface, which promotes a preferential conversion of a well-adsorbed molecule. This catalyzes a selective transformation of a well-adsorbed molecule into a less-adsorbed molecule, so-labeled “stick-and-leave” transformation, which promotes a direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol, one of the most difficult synthetic reactions, with very high selectivity (>80%) and using water as a source of oxidant.
