Designing visible light photocatalysts with a metal oxide semiconductor as the starting material could expand a new horizon for the conversion and storage of solar energy. Here, the benchmark photocatalyst TiO₂ was used to pursue this goal by anchoring aromatic acids. Extending the aromatic acid was strategically deployed to design TiO₂ complexes with violet light-induced selective aerobic oxidation of sulfide as the probe reaction. With benzoic acid (BA) as the initial molecule, horizontally extending one or two benzene rings furnishes 2-naphthoic acid (2-NA) and 2-anthracene acid (2-AA). Moreover, triethylamine (TEA), an electron transfer mediator, was introduced to maintain the integrity of the anchored aromatic acids. Notably, there was a direct correlation between the π-conjugation of aromatic acid ligand and the selective aerobic oxidation of sulfides. Among the three aromatic acids, 2-AA delivered the best result over TiO₂ due to the most extensive π-conjugated system. Ultimately, violet light-induced selective aerobic oxidation of sulfides into corresponding sulfoxides was conveniently realized by cooperative photocatalysis of 2-AA-TiO₂ with 10 mol% of TEA. This work affords an extending strategy for designing the next-generation ligands for semiconductors to expand visible light-induced selective reactions.
