Abstract
In this article, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with Cu(II) g-C3N4-imine was exploited for aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes followed by condensation with indoles in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy to present a one-pot tandem strategy for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) under solvent-free conditions. The synergistic effect between the components to improve the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared Cu-g-C3N4-imine/TiO2 nanoparticles resulting from electron-hole separation was approved by PL spectroscopy. Moreover, action spectra showed a light-dependent photocatalysis with effective visible-light responsivity of the photocatalyst. The present method includes different aspects of green chemistry: one-pot tandem synthesis of a variety of BIMs using alcohols that are less toxic, more available, more economical, and more stable than aldehydes; removing the byproducts resulting from overoxidation of alcohols and polymerization of aldehydes and indoles; the use of air as a safe oxidant; visible light as a safe energy source; and solvent-free conditions. A reusability test demonstrated that the catalyst retained its efficiency even after five runs.

Abstract
In this study, a SiO2 layer-coated g-C3N4 catalyst was prepared by a sol-gel method to overcome the poor adsorption ability and high recombination rate of charge carriers of pristine g-C3N4. SEM and TEM images indicated that SiO2 nanoparticles were coated on the surface of g-C3N4 nanoparticles with a layered structure and the layers were tightly contacted with g-C3N4. XRD patterns, FTIR spectra, UV-vis spectra and XPS spectra revealed that the structure of g-C3N4 was not destroyed and its photoelectric catalytic properties were not suppressed by the coating of SiO2 layers. Adsorption experiments revealed that the SiO2 layers improved the adsorption performance of g-C3N4 and their ratios were adjusted. The molecular weights of the final products of the degradation of RhB and antibiotics were at the micro-molecule level while the amount of g-C3N4 reached 1.2% of the mass fraction, which were more suitable for pollutant degradation compared with those of g-C3N4 due to its poor adsorption ability. The reason for this was likely that the SiO2 layers were not only beneficial for the adsorption of pollutants and intermediate products but also for prolonging the life time of the separated electrons and holes. Finally, active trapping experiments confirmed that both the holes and superoxide radicals were the main factors in the degradation of RhB and antibiotics, with the superoxides being the most active species.

Abstract
Rapid identification of DNA oxidative damage sites is of great significance for disease diagnosis. In this work, electric field-regulated click reaction surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (e-Click-SERS) was developed aiming at the rapid and specific analysis of furfural, the biomarker of oxidative damage to the 5-carbon site of DNA deoxyribose. In e-Click-SERS, cysteamine-modified porous Ag filaments (cys@p-Ag) were prepared and used as electrodes, amine-aldehyde click reaction sites, and SERS substrates. Cysteamine was controlled as an "end-on" conformation by setting the voltage of cys@p-Ag at -0.1 V, which ensures its activity in participating in the amine-aldehyde click reaction during the detection of furfural. Benefiting from this, the proposed e-Click-SERS method was found to be sensitive, rapid-responding, and interference-resistant in analyzing furfural from plasma. The method detection limits of furfural were 5 ng mL-1 in plasma, and the whole "extraction and detection" procedure was completed within 30 min with satisfactory recovery. Interference from 13 kinds of common plasma metabolites was investigated and found to not interfere with the analysis, according to the exclusive adaptation of the amine-aldehyde click reaction. Notably, the e-Click-SERS technique allows in situ analysis of biological samples, which offers great potential to be a point-of-care testing tool for detecting DNA oxidative damage.

Enhanced Visible-Light-Induced Photocatalytic Activity in M(III)Salophen-Decorated TiO 2 Nanoparticles for Heterogeneous Degradation of Organic Dyes. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:3821-3834.

Abstract
In this work, the construction of two heterojunction photocatalysts by coordinative anchoring of M(salophen)Cl complexes (M = Fe(III) and Mn(III)) to rutile TiO2 through a silica-aminopyridine linker (SAPy) promotes the visible-light-assisted photodegradation of organic dyes. The degradation efficiency of both cationic rhodamine B (RhB) and anionic methyl orange (MO) dyes by Fe- and Mn-TiO2-based catalysts in the presence of H2O2 under sunlight and low-wattage visible bulbs (12-18 W) is investigated. Anionic MO is more degradable than cationic RhB, and the Mn catalyst shows more activity than its Fe counterpart. Action spectra demonstrate the maximum apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) at 400-450 nm, confirming the visible-light-driven photocatalytic reaction. The enhanced photocatalytic activity might be attributed to the improved charge transfer in the heterojunction photocatalysts evidenced by photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses. A radical pathway for the photodegradation of dyes is postulated based on scavenging experiments and spectral data. This work provides new opportunities for constructing highly efficient catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, a novel heterogeneous visible light-driven nanocatalyst was produced via the complexation of Co(ii) with g-C3N4-imine-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles. It was characterized using different techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalyst promoted several different transformations in a one-pot reaction sequence: aerobic photooxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and then the tandem synthesis of benzimidazoles through the dehydrogenative coupling of primary benzylic alcohols and aromatic diamines. The photocatalyst proved to be highly active, robust, selective, and recyclable under organic reaction conditions and provided affordable products with good to high yields. The results proposed that the improved photoactivity predominantly benefits from the synergistic effects of the heterojunction of Co-carbon nitride on TiO2 nanoparticles. Moreover, this protocol provides standard conditions avoiding undesirable additives and limitations of oxidation methods, and may help to develop a new strategy for the development of photocatalysis based organic transformations. The Co-g-C3N4-imine/TiO2 nanohybrid promotes different transformations in a one-pot reaction sequence: aerobic photooxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes, and then the tandem synthesis of benzimidazoles.![]()
