“…Recently, the spin trapping technique is widely employed in the photocatalytic reaction as a valuable tool to study the reaction mechanism [21,87]. Among several spin traps agents, such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO), 4-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylpyrroline-1-oxide (FDMPO), α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butyl nitrone (POBN), and N-tert-butyl-a-phenylnitron (PBN), 5,5-Dimethyl-1-pyrrolin-N-oxid (DMPO) is the most used spin trap due to the well resolved and characteristic EPR spectra with the superoxide and hydroxyl radicals [10,[86][87][88]. Figure 14 shows the EPR spectra for the DMPO-OH and DMPO-O 2 adducts after the reaction of the hydroxyl radicals and superoxide with DMPO under irradiation.…”
