Abstract 18O Tracer study of perfluorinated poly(p-phenylene)-catalyzed photohydroxylation of benzene to phenol with H218O and 16O2 revealed that the hydroxylation initially occurs by the attack of the hydroxyl radical (H18O•) generated by the photooxidation of H218O, but the hydroxyl radical (H16O•) derived from the concurrently produced H216O2 comes to participate in further hydroxylation as the photocatalysis proceeds.
