Ammonia-Doped Polyaniline-Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanocomposite as a Heterogeneous Green Catalyst for Synthesis of Indole-Substituted 4H-Chromenes.

ABSTRACT: A nanocomposite of polyaniline with graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) nanosheets has been synthesized by a facile oxidative polymerization of an aniline monomer and GCN to demonstrate its potential to catalyze the synthesis of various indole-substituted 4H-chromenes. The synthesized nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using different spectroscopic techniques to confirm the morphology and composition. Subsequently, the fabricated nanocomposite was used as a heterogeneous catalyst to synthesize several bioactive indole-substituted 4H-chromenes in an aqueous medium. Organic transformation under benign and environmentally sustainable conditions is of paramount importance in the view of growing environmental pollution. Water is the universal Green solvent and has been a preferred choice of nature to perform various reactions. The catalyst developed in this work showed very good recyclability and adaptability for the synthesis of various medicinally significant indole-substituted 4H-chromenes. This multicomponent reaction imparts very high atom economy (94%) and low environmental factor (0.13).

Project description:HighlightsThe g-C3N4 monolayer in the perfect 2D limit was successfully realized, for the first time, by the well-defined chemical strategy based on the bottom-up process. The most striking evidence was made from Cs-high resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements by observing directly the atomic structure of g-C3N4 unit cell, which was again supported by the corresponding high resolution transmission electron microscopy image simulation results. We demonstrated that the newly prepared g-C3N4 monolayer showed outstanding photocatalytic activity for H2O2 generation as well as excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction. The exfoliation of bulk graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) into monolayer has been intensively studied to induce maximum surface area for fundamental studies, but ended in failure to realize chemically and physically well-defined monolayer of g-C3N4 mostly due to the difficulty in reducing the layer thickness down to an atomic level. It has, therefore, remained as a challenging issue in two-dimensional (2D) chemistry and physics communities. In this study, an "atomic monolayer of g-C3N4 with perfect two-dimensional limit" was successfully prepared by the chemically well-defined two-step routes. The atomically resolved monolayer of g-C3N4 was also confirmed by spectroscopic and microscopic analyses. In addition, the experimental Cs-HRTEM image was collected, for the first time, which was in excellent agreement with the theoretically simulated; the evidence of monolayer of g-C3N4 in the perfect 2D limit becomes now clear from the HRTEM image of orderly hexagonal symmetry with a cavity formed by encirclement of three adjacent heptazine units. Compared to bulk g-C3N4, the present g-C3N4 monolayer showed significantly higher photocatalytic generation of H2O2 and H2, and electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction. In addition, its photocatalytic efficiency for H2O2 production was found to be the best for any known g-C3N4 nanomaterials, underscoring the remarkable advantage of monolayer formation in optimizing the catalyst performance of g-C3N4.
