Abstract
Abstract The photolysis of aqueous Zeise salt essentially leads to the release of ethylene, but about 10% undergo a photohydration which is initiated by MLCT excitation: PtIICl3(C2H4)]− + 2 H2O ―hν→ [PtII(H2O)Cl3] − + CH3CH2OH Since [Pt(H2O)Cl3]− adds again ethylene to regenerate [Pt(C2H4)Cl3]− the overall reaction proceeds as a photocatalysis converting C2H4 to C2H5OH. When ethylene was replaced by 1‐hexene the photoaquation to 1‐hexanol takes place with TON > 2.30.
