Correlation analysis was applied to narrow reaction (indicator) series XBR<sub>C</sub>, in which the reaction center R<sub>C</sub> and bridge B remain constant, whereas the electron-donating and electron-accepting properties of substituents X vary. For the first time, the polarizability effect of substituents was found to operate in all the narrow series considered. The polarizability effect is an ion–dipole interaction between the charge <i>q</i> at the reaction center R<sub>C</sub> and the dipole moment induced by this charge in substituents X. A necessary condition for this effect is therefore the formation of a partial charge q at the reaction center R<sub>C</sub>. Isolated compounds have no excess charge, and its appearance results solely from the participation of molecules of the series under study in the formation of weak intermolecular complexes. In some cases, the polarizability effect makes a large, sometimes dominant, contribution to the enthalpy of vaporization, outweighing the contributions of the inductive and resonance effects. The steric effect also influences the enthalpy of vaporization in some series. Therefore, a correct interpretation of the substituent effect on the enthalpy of vaporization Δ<i>H</i><sub>vap</sub>, that is, on the conversion of a liquid into a gas, requires consideration of the formation of weak complexes by compounds of the series under study. This complex formation gives rise to the polarizability effect on Δ<i>H</i><sub>vap</sub> along with the classical inductive, resonance, and steric effects of substituents.</p>","PeriodicalId":761,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of General Chemistry","volume":"96 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148926835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the wide bandgap, rapid charge recombination, and poor visible-light response of pure TiO<sub>2</sub> restrict its practical implementation. This review compiles the recent advancements in modified TiO<sub>2</sub> photocatalysts for VOCs abatement, with a focus on three typical strategies: defect engineering, heterostructure construction, and composite system integration. The mechanisms, performance advantages, and existing issues of each strategy are systematically analyzed and compared. Considering the current bottlenecks, such as low quantum yield, intermediate accumulation, and poor adaptability to real-world environments, we put forward future research directions: balancing activity and stability, comprehensively revealing reaction mechanisms, and facilitating industrial translation.

After refinement of the crystal structure, the ion positions in the unit cell were relaxed within the density functional theory framework using the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno algorithm implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO, where the atoms were modeled using pseudopotentials. The refined and optimized crystal structures were formally compared by determining the maximum difference between equivalent positions of identical ions, the arithmetic mean of the differences between the coordinates of equivalent positions, and the similarity measure. The thermochemical properties were studied experimentally over the temperature range from 25 to 900°C in a flowing air–argon mixture using a simultaneous thermal analyzer in thermogravimetric analysis–differential scanning calorimetry mode.
