Impact/Purpose:

Prepared for a special issue of American Chemical Society (ACS) journal, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.

Description:

A photoactive catalyst, Fe@g-C3N4, has been developed for the hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes using hydrazine hydrate as a source of hydrogen. The magnetically separable Fe@g-C3N4 eliminates the use of high pressure hydrogenation and the reaction can be accomplished using visible light without the need for external sources of energy.
