The formation of oxygen radicals on hydrated TiO 2 (anatase) samples irradiated at 77 K in the near-UV region and their interaction with adsorbed phenol molecules have been studied by electron spin resonance. The results indicate that the irradiation determines the generation of O 2 H · and O − radicals which react with adsorbed phenol molecules. Phenol-derived radicals are generated after warming the sample at room temperature. A reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of the observed species.
