Abstract
Using global sun UV-emission and dioxygen we have performed adamantane and cyclohexane oxidation in acetonitrile solution and in the presence of W₁₀O₃₂^4- as a photocatalyst. Such photooxidations are very effective and can be applied in a large scale. In the case of cyclohexane the best result was obtained with W₁₀O₃₂Na₄ in a 20% acetonitrile/cyclohexane emulsion.
