2-Propanol oxidation to acetone was examined by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy on a Pt/TiO 2 photocatalyst in an aqueous solution. Holes generated by the band-gap excitation were found to attach to the adsorbed reactant within the first 0.5 ls. Subsequent rearrangement of atoms in the hole-atta
