Abstract
Poly(sodium styrenesulfonate-co-vinylbenzyl chloride) with rose bengal chromophores covalently attached to the polymer chain (PSSS-VBC/RB) has been successfully used as a photosensitizer for oxidation of phenol in an aqueous solution. p-Benzoquinone was identified as a primary photochemical product. The quantum yields of photooxidation of phenol was found to be strongly dependent on pH of aqueous solution.
