Abstract

Iron(<sc>ii</sc>) bipyridine grafted on graphitic carbon nitride (Fe(bpy)<sub>3</sub>/npg-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) was found to be an efficient photocatalyst for oxidative coupling of benzyl amines using molecular oxygen as an oxidant and a household white LED as a light emitting source.
