Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Coupling of Neat Benzylamine over a Bi-Ellagate Metal-Organic Framework.

ABSTRACT: Selective aerobic oxidation of benzylamine to N,N-benzylidenebenzylamine was achieved using a bismuth ellagate (Bi-ellagate) metal-organic framework (MOF) under simulated visible light irradiation. The bismuth ellagate photocatalyst was characterized using several spectroscopic techniques: powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nitrogen sorption measurements. Product formation was confirmed using ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and FTIR. The photocatalytic performance of Bi-ellagate was studied for the first time, which exhibits a ba
