After dissolution, a homogeneous carbon nitride photocatalyst showed boosted activity; meanwhile, the hallmarks of heterogeneous catalysts (facile separation and recycling) were retained.

Heptazine-based polymeric carbon nitrides (PCN) are well established as promising photocatalysts for light-driven redox transformations. However, the activity of these materials is hampered by their low surface area translating into low concentration of active sites accessible for reactants. Herein, we report, for the first time, a bottom-up preparation of PCN nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution (~10±3 nm), which are fully soluble in water showing no gelation or precipitation over several months, and allow carrying out photocatalysis under <i>quasi</i>-homogeneous conditions. The rate of selective (up to 100%) photooxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to 4-methoxybenzaldehyde was enhanced by the factor of 6.5 as compared to conventional solid PCN and was accompanied by simultaneous H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production <i>via</i> reduction of oxygen. The dissolved photocatalyst can be easily recovered and re-dissolved by simple modulation of the ionic strength of the medium, without any loss of activity and selectivity. This work thus establishes a new paradigm of easily operable <i>quasi-</i>homogeneous photocatalysis with PCN, and opens up a route for other applications in which liquid aqueous operation or processing of PCN is required.
