M/TiO2　(M　=　Au　and　Pt)　were　prepared　by　a　solvothermal　method　combined　with　an　in　situ　photoreduction　process　and　their　photocatalytic　performance　for　transfer　hydrogenation　of　cinnamaldehyde　(CAL)　to　form　cinnamyl　alcohol　(COL)　in　the　presence　of　isopropanol　was　investigated　under　visible　light　and　365　nm　UV　light.　Although　the　photocatalytic　transformation　of　CAL　to　COL　can　be　realized　over　both　Au/TiO2　and　Pt/TiO2,　they　show　different　activity　order　under　visible　light　and　365　nm　UV　light,　ie,　Au/TiO2　show　superior　activity　than　Pt/TiO2　under　visible　light,　while　an　opposite　activity　order　was　observed　under　365　nm　UV　light.　The　hydrogenation　to　form　COL　over　Pt/TiO2　reached　a　turnover　frequency　(TOF)　of　197　h(-1)　under　365　nm　UV　light,　which　is　among　the　highest　in　all　the　already　reported　systems　for　hydrogenation　and　transfer　hydrogenation　of　CAL　to　form　COL.　The　superior　performance　observed　over　Pt/TiO2　at　365　nm　can　be　ascribed　to　a　synergistic　effect　of　plasmonic　Pt　and　the　direct　excitation　of　TiO2.　This　study　not　only　provides　a　green　method　for　the　transfer　hydrogenation　of　CAL　to　form　COL,　but　also　highlights　the　great　potential　of　coupling　of　plasmonic　noble　metal　nanoparticles　with　semiconductor　photocatalysts　for　light-induced　organic　transformations.　(C)　2018　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
