Selective photo-oxidation of benzene and cyclohexane were investigated by using TiO2pillared clays (mica, montmorillonite and saponite). The characterization results indicated that all the TiO2pillared clays contain TiO2with similar structure, anatase-like small particles, in the different silicate layers of clays. The solvent effect on the photo-oxidation of benzene on TiO2pillared clay was significant; both the activity and selectivity were increased by an addition of 10% water in acetonitrile solvent and they were further increased when the reaction was performed in an aqueous environment. In the latter condition, TiO2pillared clays showed higher selectivity to oxygenates than TiO2(Degussa P25). The product distribution among oxygenates also depends on the type of the clay host, indicating that the photocatalytic properties of TiO2depend strongly on the type of clay host. For the cyclohexane photo-oxidation, TiO2pillared clay showed much higher selectivity than TiO2, possibly because of the hydrophobic nature of pillared clay.
