Advances in Carbon Nitride Catalysis towards Heterocyclization

Abstract Graphitic carbon nitrides are unique π-conjugated polymers, now known for their physiochemical stability, earth-abundance in nature, visible-light-driven, electron-hole pair conduction leading to photocatalysis, and environmentally benign materials. This review summarizes recent and emerging concepts in heterogeneous catalysis employing carbon nitrides and their fabricated materials towards heterocyclic syntheses. 1 Introduction 2 Synthesis of Heterocycles 3 Conclusion
