Carbazolic conjugated microporous polymer (C-CMP) is obtained via straightforward carbazole-based oxidative coupling polymerization. C-CMP exhibits high porosity and a specific surface area of 1137 m2 g–1, and it is thermally stable to 600 °C in nitrogen. C-CMP is shown to be a highly effective heterogeneous photocatalyst for a wide range of reactions, including the oxidative coupling of primary amines, aerobic dehydrogenation of nonactive secondary amine substrates such as pharmaceutically relevant nitrogen heterocycles, and selective oxidation of sulfide using molecular oxygen and visible light. This work highlights the potential of developing photoactive N-containing CMPs as a highly stable, molecularly tunable, reusable, and metal-free visible light photocatalysts for a wide variety of organic transformations.
