Application

  • Organic synthesis in water with covalent organic frameworks: Research on fully conjugated covalent organic framework nanosheets, facilitated by catalysts like benzylamine, demonstrates their effectiveness in visible-light-driven organic synthesis, promoting environmentally friendly chemical processes (Ma et al., 2024).
  • Photocatalytic oxidation of amines with microporous polymers: Demonstrates the confined synthesis of conjugated microporous polymers, utilizing benzylamine as a substrate for selective photocatalytic oxidation of amines, a technique applicable in the purification of chemical substances and environmental cleanup (You et al., 2024).
