The titanium dioxide photocatalyst is employed to examine the influence of chemisorbed hexachloroplatinate( IV ) anions (PtCl 6 2− ) on the surface of P‐25 TiO 2 particles on the photoinduced conversion of the azo dye Ethyl Orange (EO) in visible light‐illuminated Pt IV /TiO 2 dispersions. Spin‐trap electron spin resonance (ESR) spectral results, measurement of quantities of organoperoxides formed, total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD Cr ) assays, together with XPS evidence show that the self‐sensitized transformation dynamics of the EO dye mediated by Pt IV /TiO 2 are much faster than those occurring on naked TiO 2 under otherwise identical conditions of visible light irradiation. X‐ray photoelectron spectral data also show that under the experimental conditions used, no Pt 0 formed on the titania particles during visible light irradiation. We propose a reaction mechanism in which the more rapid conversion of EO in the presence of PtCl 6 2− is caused principally by photoexcitation of the dye and not by localized excitation of the tetrachloroplatinate( IV )/TiO 2 particles.
