Abstract
The photoinduced reactions of ferrocenium ion in acetonitrile are described in the presence of benzylalcohol, benzhydrol or propanol-1. The alcohol oxidation into carbonyl compound and the photoreduction or photodecomposition of ferrocenium are observed in the case of benzylalcohol. A photocatalysed alcohol dehydration to the ether oxide is observed in the case of benzhydrol. It is shown that the LMCT transition excitation induces the redox reaction while the ligand field transition excitation induces the catalysed dehydration and decomposition.
