A new photocatalytic reactivity of carbon-nanodot-doped graphitic carbon nitride (CD-C3N4) with alkenes and dienes, has been disclosed. We have shown that CD-C3N4 photosensitizes the oxidation of unsaturated substrates in a variety of solvents according to two competing mechanisms: the energy transfer via singlet oxygen (1O2) and/or the electron transfer via superoxide (O·−2). The singlet oxygen, derived by the CD-C3N4 photosensitized process, reacts with alkenes to form allylic hydroperoxides (ene products) whereas with dienes, endoperoxides. When the electron transfer mechanism operates, cleavage products are formed, derived from the corresponding dioxetanes. Which of the two mechanisms will prevail depends on solvent polarity and the particular substrate. The photocatalyst remains stable under the photooxidation conditions, unlike the most conventional photosensitizers, while the heterogeneous nature of CD-C3N4 overcomes usual solubility problems.

The polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been one of the interesting earth abundant elements. Though g-C3N4 finds application as a photocatalyst, its photocatalytic behaviour is limited because of low efficiency, mainly due to rapid charge recombination. To overcome this problem, several strategies have been developed including doping of metal/non-metal in the cavity of g-C3N4. Moreover, the CoFe2O4 NPs have been used in many organic transformations because of its high surface area and easy separation due to its magnetic nature. This review describes the role of cobalt ferrite as magnetic nanoparticles and metal-doped carbon nitride as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for new carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero atom bond formation followed by heterocyclization. Reactions which involved new catalysts for selective activation of readily available substrates has been reported herein. Since nanoparticles enhance the reactivity of catalyst due to higher catalytic area, they have been employed in various reactions such as addition reaction, C-H activation reaction, coupling reaction, cyclo-addition reaction, multi-component reaction, ring-opening reaction, oxidation reaction and reduction reactions etc. The driving force for choosing this topic is based-on huge number of good publications including different types of spinels/metal doped-/graphitic carbon nitride reported in the literature and due to interest of synthetic community in recent years. This review certainly will represent the present status in organic transformation and for exploring further their catalytic efficiency to new organic transformations involving C-H activation reaction through coupling, cyclo-addition, multi-component, ring-opening, oxidation and reduction reactions.
