Polymeric carbon nitride (C₃N₄) is a semiconductor material which is a very promising green photocatalyst with good physico-chemical properties and stability. It is a metal-free carbon based non-toxic material which can be easily obtained from earth-abundant components. The robustness and versatility of C₃N₄ as a photo-redox catalyst allows its use for selective oxidations by heterogeneous photocatalysis. This paper reviews the state of art in the application of C₃N₄ as heterogeneous photocatalyst for selective oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes.
