To investigate the effectiveness of cyano-vinylene-linked covalent organic framework in photocatalytic oxidation of organic sulfides.
Comparison of cyano-vinylene-linked and imine-linked covalent organic frameworks.
Assessment of photocatalytic activity in the presence of oxygen.
Evaluation of selectivity for organic sulfide oxidation.
The cyano-vinylene-linked framework demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity.
Higher selectivity for oxidizing organic sulfides compared to the imine-linked framework.
Abstract
The cyano-vinylene-linked covalent organic framework, TFPT-sp 2 c-TCN, outshines its imine-linked analogue, TFPT–TDA, in the selective photocatalytic oxidation of organic sulfides with oxygen.
