Abstract
Azoxy arenes are valuable compounds in different areas of chemistry, such as organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and natural product chemistry. Despite their value, the regioselective synthesis of unsymmetric azoxybenzenes has remained a real challenge in the field. Herein, the product selectivity in oxidative homocoupling of anilines into symmetric azoxybenzenes was first achieved by an asparagine-functionalized CQD catalyst. Subsequently, in the cross-coupling of anilines into the unsymmetric azoxybenzenes via an ortho H-bond acceptor (HBA) on one of the coupling anilines, the regioselectivity was effectively controlled. It was demonstrated that ortho-HBA could mechanistically establish a six-membered intramolecular hydrogen-bonded ring on an N,N'-dihydroxy intermediate. The formed hydrogen bond makes the nearby nitrogen eminently suitable for the slow dehydration step. As a result, the functional oxygen of the azoxy compound is placed far from the HBA. The o-HBA mechanism also controls the regioselectivity ratio in which 1:0 (with an intramolecular H-bonded hexagonal ring), 2:1 (with an intramolecular H-bonded pentagonal ring), and 1:1 (without an ortho-HBA) isomeric mixtures could be achieved. The HBA mechanism was exploited by different substituted anilines, and various unsymmetric azoxybenzenes were synthesized. Finally, with the aid of mechanistic studies, a plausible mechanism for the reaction was proposed.

Abstract
Enzymes are making a significant impact on chemical synthesis. However, the range of chemical products achievable through biocatalysis is still limited compared to the vast array of products possible with organic synthesis. For instance, azoxy products have rarely been synthesized using enzyme catalysts. In this study, we discovered that fungal unspecific peroxygenases are promising catalysts for synthesizing azoxy products from simple aniline starting materials. The catalytic features (up to 48,450 turnovers and a turnover frequency of 6.7 s-1) and substrate transformations (up to 99% conversion with 98% chemoselectivity) highlight the synthetic potential. We propose a mechanism where peroxygenase-derived hydroxylamine and nitroso compounds spontaneously (non-enzymatically) form the desired azoxy products. This work expands the reactivity repertoire of biocatalytic transformations in the underexplored field of azoxy compound formation reactions.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed active sites in a photocatalyst offer unique advantages such as locally tuned electronic structures, quantum size effects, and maximum utilization of atomic species. Among these, asymmetric atomic dual-sites are of particular interest because their asymmetric charge distribution generates a local built-in electric potential to enhance charge separation and transfer. Moreover, the dual sites provide flexibility for tuning complex multielectron and multireaction pathways, such as CO2 reduction reactions. The coordination of dual sites opens new possibilities for engineering the structure-activity-selectivity relationship. This comprehensive overview discusses efficient and sustainable photocatalysis processes in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, focusing on strategic active-site design and future challenges. It serves as a timely reference for the design and development of photocatalytic conversion processes, specifically exploring the utilization of asymmetric atomic dual-sites for complex photocatalytic conversion pathways, here exemplified by the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals.

Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) with electron-withdrawing nitro (-NO2) groups are typical refractory pollutants. Despite advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) being appealing degradation technologies, inefficient ring-opening oxidation of NACs and practical large-scale applications remain challenges. Here we tackle these challenges by designing a reduction-oxidation coupling (ROC) degradation process in LaFe0.95Cu0.05O3@carbon fiber cloth (LFCO@CFC)/PMS/Vis continuous flow system. Cu doping enhances the photoelectron transfer, thus triggering the -NO2 photoreduction and breaking the barriers in the ring opening. Also, it modulates surface electronic configuration to generate radicals and non-radicals for subsequent oxidation of reduction products. Based on this, the ROC process can effectively remove and mineralize NACs under the environmental background. More importantly, the LFCO catalyst outperformed most of the recently reported catalysts with lower cost (13.72 CNY/ton) and higher processing capacity (3600 t/month). Furthermore, the high scalability, material durability, and catalytic activity of LFCO@CFC under various realistic environmental conditions prove the potential ability for large-scale applications.

Abstract
The photocatalytic field revolves around the utilization of photon energy to initiate various chemical reactions using non-adsorbing substrates, through processes such as single electron transfer, energy transfer, or atom transfer. The efficiency of this field depends on the capacity of a light-absorbing metal complex, organic molecule, or substance (commonly referred to as photocatalysts or PCs) to execute these processes. Photoredox techniques utilize photocatalysts, which possess the essential characteristic of functioning as both an oxidizing and a reducing agent upon activation. In addition, it is commonly observed that photocatalysts exhibit optimal performance when irradiated with low-energy light sources, while still retaining their catalytic activity under ambient temperatures. The implementation of photoredox catalysis has resuscitated an array of synthesis realms, including but not limited to radical chemistry and photochemistry, ultimately affording prospects for the development of the reactions. Also, photoredox catalysis is utilized to resolve numerous challenges encountered in medicinal chemistry, as well as natural product synthesis. Moreover, its applications extend across diverse domains encompassing organic chemistry and catalysis. The significance of photoredox catalysts is rooted in their utilization across various fields, including biomedicine, environmental pollution management, and water purification. Of course, recently, research has evaluated photocatalysts in terms of cost, recyclability, and pollution of some photocatalysts and dyes from an environmental point of view. According to these new studies, there is a need for critical studies and reviews on photocatalysts and photocatalytic processes to provide a solution to reduce these limitations. As a future perspective for research on photocatalysts, it is necessary to put the goals of researchers on studies to overcome the limitations of the application and efficiency of photocatalysts to promote their use on a large scale for the development of industrial activities. Given the significant implications of the subject matter, this review seeks to delve into the fundamental tenets of the photocatalyst domain and its associated practical use cases. This review endeavors to demonstrate the prospective of a powerful tool known as photochemical catalysis and elucidate its underlying tenets. Additionally, another goal of this review is to expound upon the various applications of photocatalysts.

Abstract
The solvent-free selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to azoxy compounds is highly important, yet challenging. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to construct individually dispersed Co atoms decorated on niobium pentaoxide nanomeshes with unique geometric and electronic properties. The use of this supported Co single atom catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene results in high catalytic activity and selectivity, with 99% selectivity and 99% conversion within 0.5 h. Remarkably, it delivers an exceptionally high turnover frequency of 40377 h-1, which is amongst similar state-of-the-art catalysts. In addition, it demonstrates remarkable recyclability, reaction scalability, and wide substrate scope. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the catalytic activity and selectivity are significantly promoted by the unique electronic properties and strong electronic metal-support interaction in Co1/Nb2O5. The absence of precious metals, toxic solvents, and reagents makes this catalyst more appealing for synthesizing azoxy compounds from nitroaromatics. Our findings suggest the great potential of this strategy to access single atom catalysts with boosted activity and selectivity, thus offering blueprints for the design of nanomaterials for organocatalysis.

Abstract
Chromoselective bond activation has been achieved in organic helicenium (nPr-DMQA+)-based photoredox catalysis. Consequently, control over chromoselective C(sp2)-X bond activation in multihalogenated aromatics has been demonstrated. nPr-DMQA+ can only initiate the halogen atom transfer (XAT) pathway under red light irradiation to activate low-energy-accessible C(sp2)-I bonds. In contrast, blue light irradiation initiates consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (conPET) to activate more challenging C(sp2)-Br bonds. Comparative reaction outcomes have been demonstrated in the α-arylation of cyclic ketones with red and blue lights. Furthermore, red-light-mediated selective C(sp2)-I bonds have been activated in iodobromoarenes to keep the bromo functional handle untouched. Finally, the strength of the chromoselective catalysis has been highlighted with two-fold functionalization using both photo-to-transition metal and photo-to-photocatalyzed transformations.

Abstract
The alkaline-earth-containing nickel phosphide clathrates AeNi2P4 (Ae = Ba, Sr) are investigated as catalysts for the reduction of nitrate or nitroarenes in aqueous or ethanolic solution, respectively. While AeNi2P4 clathrates are inactive in their bulk polycrystalline form, they become active in nitrate hydrogenation after size reduction by either grinding or ball milling. However, while the clathrate structure remains intact after manual grinding, ball milling is of limited use as it results in significant clathrate degradation. Ground AeNi2P4 catalysts are also active in nitroarene hydrogenation. Condensation products such as azoxy- and azo-benzenes form early (4 h) but anilines accumulate after long reaction times (24 h). Unexpectedly, BaNi2P4 partially devinylates nitrostyrene to nitrobenzene. Overall, BaNi2P4 is more active than SrNi2P4 in both nitrate and nitroarene hydrogenation. These results showcase the potential utility of clathrates in a growing number of catalytic transformations.

Abstract
CeO2 nanorod based catalysts for the base-free synthesis of azoxy-aromatics via transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes with ethanol as hydrogen donor have been synthesized and investigated. The oxygen vacancies (Ov ) and base sites are critical for their excellent catalytic properties. The Ov , i.e., undercoordinated Ce cations, serve as the sites to activate ethanol and nitroarenes by lowering the energy barrier to transfer hydrogen from α-Csp3 -H in ethanol to the nitro group coupling it to the redox reactions between Ce3+ and Ce4+ . At the same time, the base sites catalyze the condensation step to selectively produce azoxy-aromatics. The catalytic route opens a much improved way to use non-noble metal oxides without additives for the selective functional group reduction and coupling reactions.

Abstract
Selectively reducing nitroaromatics into aromatic amines will not only remove nitroaromatic pollutants in waste effluents to reduce environmental risks, but also yield important feedstocks for chemical industrial manufactures. In this study, a FeCo-co-embedded N-doped Carbon (FeCo-N-C) catalyst with Fe-Co atomic pair has been identified with favorable activity, superior selectivity, excellent reusability, as well as outstanding performance in the treatment of real water. The combined results from theoretical study and experimental tests indicate that the improved catalytic performance of FeCo-N-C is owing to the narrowed band gap and electron delocalization caused by the Fe-Co atomic pair which can improve electron transport in its catalytic reaction. The results of isotope experiments and H* quenching experiments confirm that H2O is the source of hydrogen in catalytic reduction of PNP. FeCo-N-C is identified as a superior catalyst to replace multitudinous currently used noble-metal catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this paper, a photoelectrochemical (PEC)-surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode biosensor is constructed coupled with a dual-recognition binding-induced DNA walker with a carbon nitride nanosheet (C3N4)/MXene-gold nanoparticles (C/M-Au NPs) accelerator, which is reliable and capable for sensitive and accurate detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Initially, a photoactive heterostructure is formed by combining C3N4 and MXene via a simple electrostatic self-assembly as they possess well-matched band-edge energy levels. Subsequently, in situ growth of gold nanoparticles on the formed surface results in better PEC performance and SERS activity, because of the synergistic effects of surface plasmon resonance and Schottky barrier. Furthermore, a three-dimensional, bipedal, and dual-recognition binding-induced DNA walker is introduced with the formation of Pb2+-dependent DNAzyme. In the presence of S. aureus, a significant quantity of intermediate DNA (I-DNA) is generated, which can open the hairpin structure of Methylene Blue-tagged hairpin DNA (H-MB) on the electrode surface, thereby enabling the switch of signals for the quantitative determination of S. aureus. The constructed PEC-SERS dual-mode biosensor that can be mutually verified under one reaction effectively addresses the problem of the low detection accuracy of traditional sensors. Experimental results revealed that the effective combination of PEC and SERS is achieved for amplification detection of S. aureus with a detection range of 5-108 CFU/mL (PEC) and 10-108 CFU/mL (SERS), and a detection of limit of 0.70 CFU/mL (PEC) and 1.35 CFU/mL (SERS), respectively. Therefore, this study offers a novel and effective dual-mode sensing strategy, which has important implications for bioanalysis and health monitoring.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dot (CQD)-decorated CdS nanocomposites were successfully fabricated via the self-assembly of CdS in the presence of preformed CQDs and were found to be efficient photocatalysts for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under visible light. Due to the presence of the frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs (FLPs) in their structure, CQDs act as an efficient catalyst to promote the proton-coupled hydrogenation of nitrobenzene over CQDs/CdS nanocomposites. Controllable and chemoselective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to produce aniline, azoxybenzene, azobenzene and hydrazobenzene can be realized over CQDs/CdS via simply regulating the reaction medium including the hydrogen source, the solvent and the alkalinity. This study provides a highly efficient and economical photocatalytic system for the controllable and chemoselective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under visible light. This work also highlights the great potential of semiconductor-based photocatalysis in light-initiated organic syntheses.

Abstract
Carbon nitrides that expose atomically dispersed single-atom metals in the form of M-N-C (M = metal) sites are attractive earth-abundant catalyst materials that have been demonstrated in electrocatalytic conversion reactions. The catalytic performance is determined by the abundance of N-doped sites and the type of metal coordination to N, but challenges remain to synthesize pristine carbon nitrides with a high concentration of the most active sites and prepare homogeneously doped materials that allow for in-depth characterization of the M-N-C sites and quantitative evaluation of their catalytic performance. Herein, we have synthesized and characterized a well-defined monolayer carbon nitride phase on a Au(111) surface that exposes an exceedingly high concentration of Co-N4 sites. The crystalline monolayer carbon nitride, whose formation is controlled by an on-surface reaction between Co atoms and melamine on Au(111), is characterized by a dense array of 4- and 6-fold N-terminated pockets, whereof only the 4-fold pocket is found to be holding Co atoms. Through detailed characterization using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory modeling, we determine the atomic structure and chemical state of the carbon nitride network. Furthermore, we show that the monolayer carbon nitride structure is stable and reactive toward the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline electrolyte, with a quantitative performance metric that significantly exceeds comparable M-N-C-based catalyst types. The work demonstrates that high-density active catalytic sites can be created using common precursor materials, and the formed networks themselves offer an excellent platform for onward studies addressing the characteristics of M-N-C sites.

Abstract
The selective enzymatic reduction of nitroaliphatic and nitroaromatic compounds to aliphatic amines and amino-, azoxy- and azo-aromatics, respectively, remains a persisting challenge for biocatalysis. Here we demonstrate the light-powered, selective photoenzymatic synthesis of aliphatic amines and amino-, azoxy- and azo-aromatics from the corresponding nitro compounds. The nitroreductase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, in synergy with a photocatalytic system based on chlorophyll, promotes selective conversions of electronically-diverse nitroarenes into a series of aromatic amino, azoxy and azo products with excellent yield (up to 97%). The exploitation of an alternative nitroreductase from Enterobacter cloacae enables the tailoring of a photoenzymatic system for the challenging synthesis of aliphatic amines from nitroalkenes and nitroalkanes (up to 90% yield). This photoenzymatic reduction overcomes the competing bio-Nef reaction, typically hindering the complete enzymatic reduction of nitroaliphatics. The results highlight the usefulness of nitroreductases to create selective photoenzymatic systems for the synthesis of precious chemicals, and the effectiveness of chlorophyll as an innocuous photocatalyst, enabling the use of sunlight to drive the photobiocatalytic reactions.

A facile tert-butyl nitrite-assisted preparation of deamino graphitic carbon nitride (DA-gCN) as a photocatalyst for the C-H arylation of heteroarenes using anilines as radical source. Turk J Chem 2023; 47:1195-1208.

Abstract
In pristine graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN), amino groups often function as structural defects that trap photogenerated charges, resulting in low photocatalytic activity as well as reaction with nitrite, aldehyde, etc., ensuing in poor product yield. Without significantly altering the optical characteristics, the removal of amino groups is necessary to increase the photocatalytic activity and structural stability of pristine g-CN. The deamino graphitic carbon nitride (DA-gCN-5) was prepared by tert-butyl nitrite (TBN)-treatment, characterized and used as a photocatalyst for the radical C-H arylation of heteroarenes using anilines as radical source. Indeed, the photophysical characteristics of DA-gCN-5 and those of pristine g-CN are very comparable, except that DA-gCN-5 has a fewer residual amino groups, higher crystallinity, and compressed structure with a different morphology. Moreover, DA-gCN-5-catalyzed C-H arylation reaction offers greater product yield in a shorter reaction time compared to that of pristine g-CN in the coupling between heteroarenes and the in situ generated aryl diazonium salts from anilines under visible light irradiation. The amino groups in pristine g-CN absorbed the TBN that was added to convert aniline into the appropriate diazonium ions during the reaction. As a result, deamino graphitic carbon nitride produced by chemical treatment has better photophysical properties and catalytic activity than pristine g-CN. Additionally, this is the first method that uses diazotization reaction for the preparation of deamino graphitic carbon nitride, as far as we are aware.

Abstract
Efficient inactivation of bacteria in the sewage via a photocatalytic process represents a promising strategy for the efficient chemical utilization of solar energy. Herein, uniformly dispersed Fe atoms were embedded between layers of g-C3N4 photocatalysts (CNFx), which were facilely prepared by thermal treatment. The optimized photocatalyst (CNF100) first showed excellent photoactivity for killing a variety of bacteria (93.0% for E. coli, 93.9% for Salmonella, and 96.2% for S. aureus) under visible light irradiation. The superior activity can be attributed to the formation of shallow electron traps (Fe-N3) that can capture excitons of excited states, which promote the charge transfer and energy transfer process of activated adsorbed molecular oxygen, respectively, forming reactive oxygen species, improving separation efficiency of photoexcited electrons and holes, and the Fe-N3 traps can also be used as photosensitive sites to broaden the absorption range of visible light. This strategy of constructing shallow electronic traps lays a theoretical foundation for the design of new environmentally friendly and efficient water disinfectants.

Abstract
In theory, electrocatalysts in their metallic forms should be the most stable chemical state under cathodic potentials. It is known that the highly dispersed nanoparticle (NP) types of electrocatalysts often possess higher activity than their bulk counterparts. However, facilely and controllably fabricating well-dispersed nonprecious metal NPs with superior electrocatalytic activity, selectivity, and durability is highly challenging. Here, we report a facile reductive pyrolysis approach to controllably synthesize NiCo alloy NPs confined on the tip of N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) from a bimetal-MOF precursor. The electrocatalytic performance of the resultant NiCo@N-CNTs are evaluated by a wide spectrum of nitroarene reductive coupling reactions to produce azoxy-benzenes, a class of precious chemicals for textile, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The superior electrocatalytic stability, full conversion of nitroarenes, >99% selectivities, and >97% faradic efficiencies toward the targeted azoxy-benzene products are readily attainable by NiCo@N-CNTs, attributable to the alloying-induced synergetic effect. The presence of a CNT confinement effect in NiCo@N-CNTs induces high stability. This added to the metallic states of NiCo empowers NiCo@N-CNTs with excellent electrochemical stability under reductive reaction conditions. In an effort to enhance the energy utilization efficiency, we construct a NiCo@N-CNTs||Ni(OH)2/NF two-electrode electrolyzer to simultaneously reduce nitrobenzene at the cathode and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with >99% yields for both azoxy-benzene and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

Abstract
The C4N4 fluorophore is an intense fluorescence emitter featuring a 2,5-diaminopyrimidine core comprising four carbon and four nitrogen atoms. A series of C4N4 derivatives was photochemically dimerized at the 5-amino group, furnishing overcrowded ortho-tetraaryl-substituted diaryl azo compounds with a characteristic skewed structure revealed by X-ray crystallography. The photoquenched azo-C4N4s are useful for fluorescently visualizing cells under hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
Cerium dioxide (CeO2, ceria) has long been regarded as one of the key materials in modern catalysis, both as a support and as a catalyst itself. Apart from its well-established use (three-way catalysts and diesel engines), CeO2 has been widely used as a cocatalyst/catalyst in energy conversion and storage applications. The importance stems from the oxygen storage capacity of ceria, which allows it to release oxygen under reducing conditions and to store oxygen by filling oxygen vacancies under oxidizing conditions. However, the nature of the Ce active site remains not well understood because the degree of participation of f electrons in catalytic reactions is not clear in the case of the heavy dependence of catalysis theory on localized d orbitals at the Fermi energy E F . This review focuses on the catalytic applications in energy conversion and storage of CeO2-based nanostructures and discusses the mechanisms for several typical catalytic reactions from the perspectives of electronic properties of CeO2-based nanostructures. Defect engineering is also summarized to better understand the relationship between catalytic performance and electronic properties. Finally, the challenges and prospects of designing high efficiency CeO2-based catalysts in energy storage and conversion have been emphasized.

Abstract
Metal single-atom (MSA) catalysts with 100% metal atom utilization and unique electronic properties are attractive cocatalysts for efficient photocatalysis when coupled with semiconductors. Owing to the absence of a metal-metal bond, MSA sites are exclusively coordinated with the semiconductor photocatalyst, featuring a chemical-bond-driven tunable interaction between the semiconductor and the metal single atom. This semiconductor-MSA interaction is a platform that can facilitate the separation/transfer of photogenerated charge carriers and promote the subsequent catalytic reactions. In this Review, we first introduce the fundamental physicochemistry related to the semiconductor-MSA interaction. We highlight the ligand effect on the electronic structures, catalytic properties and functional mechanisms of the MSA cocatalyst through the semiconductor-MSA interaction. Then, we categorize the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical strategies for the construction of the efficient semiconductor-MSA interaction at the atomic scale for a wide range of photocatalytic reactions. The examples described include photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction and organic synthesis. We end by outlining strategies on how to further advance the semiconductor-MSA interaction for complex photocatalytic reactions involving multiple elementary steps. We provide atomic and electronic-scale insights into the working mechanisms of the semiconductor-MSA interaction and guidance for the design of high-performance semiconductor-MSA interface photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
The reduction of aromatic nitro compounds has been performed employing a catalytic amount of Wang resin-supported phenyl(2-quinolyl)methanol (Wang-PQM) in the presence of an excess of NaBH4 to regenerate the reactive reducing species at the end of the process. The reduction products are easily isolated through a simple filtration/extraction protocol, and the catalyst can be efficiently recovered and recycled. The condensation route is generally preferred, and azo- and/or hydrazo-arenes can be easily prepared in high yields.

Abstract
We report on a direct photochemical method for the one-pot, catalyst- and additive-free synthesis of azoxybenzene and substituted azoxy derivatives from nitrobenzene building blocks. This reaction is conducted at room temperature and under air, and can be applied to substrates with a wide range of substituents. Yields of products derived from para- and meta-substituted nitrobenzenes are typically good, while sterically encumbered ortho-substituted substrates are not as fruitful. Photochemical Wallach rearrangement of generated azoxybenzenes to ortho-hydroxyazoxybenzenes was observed in some cases, most markedly in selected ortho-halogenated nitrobenzenes. Overall, this method provides an efficient, green pathway to highly value-added azoxybenzene products.

Abstract
Employing pure water, the ultimate green source of hydrogen donor to initiate chemical reactions that involve a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) step is fascinating but challenging due to its large H-O bond dissociation energy (BDEH-O =5.1 eV). Many approaches have been explored to stimulate water for hydrogenative reactions, but the efficiency and productivity still require significant enhancement. Here, we show that the surface hydroxylated graphitic carbon nitride (gCN-OH) only requires 2.25 eV to activate H-O bonds in water, enabling abstraction of hydrogen atoms via dehydrogenation of pure water into hydrogen peroxide under visible light irradiation. The gCN-OH presents a stable catalytic performance for hydrogenative N-N coupling, pinacol-type coupling and dehalogenative C-C coupling, all with high yield and efficiency, even under solar radiation, featuring extensive impacts in using renewable energy for a cleaner process in dye, electronic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Chromoselective photocatalysis offers an intriguing opportunity to enable a specific reaction pathway out of a potentially possible multiplicity for a given substrate by using a sensitizer that converts the energy of incident photon into the redox potential of the corresponding magnitude. Several sensitizers possessing different discrete redox potentials (high/low) upon excitation with photons of specific wavelength (short/long) have been reported. Herein, we report design of molecular structures of two-dimensional amorphous covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTFs) possessing intraband states close to the valence band with strong red edge effect (REE). REE enables generation of a continuum of excited sites characterized by their own redox potentials, with the magnitude proportional to the wavelength of incident photons. Separation of charge carriers in such materials depends strongly on the wavelength of incident light and is the primary parameter that defines efficacy of the materials in photocatalytic bromination of electron rich aromatic compounds. In dual Ni-photocatalysis, excitation of electrons from the intraband states to the conduction band of the CTF with 625 nm photons enables selective formation of C‒N cross-coupling products from arylhalides and pyrrolidine, while an undesirable dehalogenation process is completely suppressed.

Abstract
Organic molecules synthesized in an environmentally friendly manner have excellent therapeutic potential. The entire preparation technique was examined in the existence of a light source, implying that light has been replaced by heating and the usage of dangerous chemicals has decreased, resulting in less pollution of the environment. The advantages of these nanocarbon catalysts include high efficiency, environmentally friendly synthesis, eco-friendly, inexpensive, and non-corrodible. In organic transformations, solid metal base/metal-free catalysts produce better results. Here, the metal-free semiconductor g-C3N4 was used to demonstrate the catalytic behavior of organic conversions. g-C3N4 is a two-dimensional material and a p‑type semiconductor to enhance the photocatalytic activity. The excellent properties of g-C3N4 sheet lead to the support of metals to form metal-organic frameworks. Most of the reactions gained positive response under visible light irradiation. This review will inspire readers in widen the applications of g-C3N4 based catalyst in various organic transformation reactions.

Abstract
The azoxy compounds with an intriguing chemical bond [-N=N+(-O−)-] are known to have broad applications in many industries. Our previous work revealed that a nonheme diiron N-oxygenase AzoC catalyzed the oxidization of amino-group to its nitroso analogue in the formation of azoxy bond in azoxymycins biosynthesis. However, except for the reported pyridine alkaloid azoxy compounds, most azoxy bonds of nitrogen heterocycles have not been biosynthesized so far, and the substrate scope of AzoC is limited to p-aminobenzene-type compounds. Therefore, it is very meaningful to use AzoC to realize the biosynthesis of azoxy nitrogen heterocycles compounds. In this work, we further studied the catalytic potential of AzoC toward nitrogen heterocycle substrates including 5-aminopyrimidine and 5-aminopyridine compounds to form new azoxy compounds through directed evolution. We constructed a double mutant L101I/Q104R via molecular engineering with improved catalytic efficiency toward 2-methoxypyrimidin-5-amine. These mutations also proved to be beneficial for N-oxygenation of methyl 5-aminopyrimidine-2-carboxylate. The structural analysis showed that relatively shorter distance between the substrate and the diiron center and amino acid residues of the active center may be responsible for the improvement of catalytic efficiency in L101I/Q104R. Our results provide a molecular basis for broadening the AzoC catalytic activity and its application in the biosynthesis of azoxy six-membered nitrogen catenation compounds.

Abstract
A novel difunctionalization of aryldiazonium salts was realized for the one-step generation of symmetric and asymmetric p-azophenols. This approach is proceeded by the sequentially regioselective aromatic C-O and C-N bond construction under mild reaction conditions, unlocking a new reaction strategy to facilitate the synthesis of p-azophenols.

Abstract
A combination of photochemistry and proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) is a primary strategy employed by biochemical systems and synthetic chemistry to enable uphill reactions under mild conditions. Degenerate nanometer-sized n-type semiconductor nanoparticles (SCNPs) with the Fermi level above the bottom of the conduction band are strongly reducing and act more like metals than semiconductors. Application of the degenerate SCNPs is limited to few examples. Herein, we load microporous potassium poly(heptazine imide) (K-PHI) nanoparticles with electrons (e‒) and charge balancing protons (H+) in an illumination phase using sacrificial agents. e‒/H+ in the K-PHI nanoparticles are weakly bound and therefore could be used in a range of PCET reactions in dark, such as generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides, ketyl radicals from ketones, and 6e‒/6H+ reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline. The integration of several features that until now were intrinsic for plants and natural photosynthesis into a transition metal free nanomaterial composed of abundant elements (C, N, and K) offers a powerful tool for synthetic organic chemistry.

Abstract
Moiré pattern superlattice formed by 2D van der Waals layered structures have attracted great attention for diverse applications. In experiments, the enhancement of catalytic performance in twisted bilayer systems is reported while its mechanism remains unclear. From high-accuracy first-principles and time-dependent ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics calculations, ultrafast interlayer charge transfer within 120 fs, excellent charge separation, improved visible-light absorption, and satisfactory overpotentials for the hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions in twisted graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) bilayers are found, which are beneficial to photocatalytic, photo-electrocatalytic, or electrocatalytic water splitting. This work provides insightful guidance to advanced nanocatalysis based on twisted layered materials.

Abstract
Among external stimuli used to promote a chemical reaction, photocatalysis possesses a unique one-light. Photons are traceless reagents that provide an exclusive opportunity to alter chemoselectivity of the photocatalytic reaction varying the color of incident light. This strategy may be implemented by using a sensitizer capable to activate a specific reaction pathway depending on the excitation light. Herein, we use potassium poly(heptazine imide) (K-PHI), a type of carbon nitride, to generate selectively three different products from S-arylthioacetates simply varying the excitation light and otherwise identical conditions. Namely, arylchlorides are produced under UV/purple, sulfonyl chlorides with blue/white, and diaryldisulfides at green to red light. A combination of the negatively charged polyanion, highly positive potential of the valence band, presence of intraband states, ability to sensitize singlet oxygen, and multi-electron transfer is shown to enable this chromoselective conversion of thioacetates.

Abstract
To elucidate the nature of light-driven photocatalytic water splitting, a polymeric semiconductor-graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-has been chosen as a prototype substrate for studying atomistic water spitting processes in realistic environments. Our nonadiabatic quantum dynamics simulations based on real-time time-dependent density functional theory reveal explicitly the transport channel of photogenerated charge carriers at the g-C3N4/water interface, which shows a strong correlation to bond re-forming. A three-step photoreaction mechanism is proposed, whereas the key roles of hole-driven hydrogen transfer and interfacial water configurations were identified. Immediately following photocatalytic water splitting, atomic pathways for the two dissociated hydrogen atoms approaching each other and forming the H2 gas molecule are demonstrated, while the remanent OH radicals may form intermediate products (e.g., H2O2). These results provide critical new insights for the characterization and further development of efficient water-splitting photocatalysts from a dynamic perspective.
