ZnS nanocrystallites (nc-ZnS) prepared in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) photocatalyze dehalogenation of halogenated benzenes to benzene as the final product from chlorinated benzenes and to difluorobenzenes from fluorinated benzenes in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) as an electron donor under UV light irradiation (λ > 300 nm). When CdS nanocrystallites (nc-CdS) are used as a photocatalyst (λ > 400 nm), halogenated benzenes are photoreductively dehalogenated, yielding trichlorobenzene from hexachlorobenzene and tetrafluorobenzene isomers from hexafluorobenzene as the final products. Photoformed electrons on nc-ZnS and nc-CdS have such negative reduction potentials that these electrons reduce polyhalogenated benzenes, leading to the successive dehalogenation. nc-ZnS exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than nc-CdS due to the more negative potential of the electrons on nc-ZnS than that on nc-CdS. The higher activities of nc-ZnS and nc-CdS compared to their bulk forms are explained as being due to their quantum size effects and the adsorptive interaction between the substrates and the nanosized photocatalysts.
