This paper discloses that boron and fluorine-doped carbon nitride (C3N4BF), as a solid activator, can efficiently accelerate the relatively inert 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinolato ironm complex (Fe-III(Q(b))(3)) to photo-catalyze the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in acetonitrile (MeCN) under visible light irradiation and achieve 25.87 % cyclohexane conversion, which is almost twice as high as without it and obviously higher than the results obtained using ordinary C3N4 as an activator or under thermo-catalysis. Furthermore, its such activation effect on Fe-III(Qb)(3) photocatalysis is also observed in the H2O2-involved oxidation of other substrates such as toluene, ethylbenzene, benzyl alcohol and thioanisole. UV-vis and PL spectra, photocurrent transient measurements and theoretical calculations support that C3N4 and especially C3N4 BF can form strong pi-pi stacking interactions with Fe-III(Qb)(3), thus inducing a weakly structural distortion of Fe-III(Qb)(3) and enhancing its photo-reductive activation via capturing the photo-generated electrons of the activator. As a result, the synergistic catalytic effect of Fe-III(Q(b))(3)with C3N4/especillly C3N4 BF can significantly accelerate the above thermo-/especially photo-oxidations.
