Interfacial engineering by creating Cu-based ternary heterostructures on C₃N₄ tubes towards enhanced photocatalytic oxidative coupling of benzylamines

Abstract

Cu/Cu2O/Cu3N heterostructures supported C3N4 tubes were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal treatment followed by calcination, which showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for oxidative self-coupling of benzylamine under visible-light.

Tuning the selectivity of benzylamine photo-oxidation with different rhodium modes anchored on BiOIO3

“…On the basis of the above experiments and our theoretical analysis, we propose the possible reaction mechanism over Rh 1 /BOIO and Rh NP /BOIO. 48–51 As shown in Fig. 4e, Rh 1 /BOIO is excited to generate electron–hole pairs during light irradiation.…”

Selective oxidative coupling of amines through light‐activated bismuth halide perovskites

“…Finally, the condensation reaction between the phenylmethanimine intermediate and free BZA molecules gives off the desired BZI product after NH 3 elimination. Additionally, the literature reported the formation of NH 3 molecules from the hydrolysis of benzylamine, which also produces benzaldehyde [51] …”

Metal- and oxidant-free electrochemically promoted oxidative coupling of amines

“…[29][30][31] PhCH]NH (A) was further anodized to form benzaldehyde (B) in the presence of water, which has been captured by GC-MS (Fig. S2 †), then benzaldehyde coupled with benzylamine to form the nal product C. [32][33][34]…”
