Photocatalytic C-H activation of Hydrocarbons over VO@g-C3N4

A highly selective and sustainable method has been developed for the oxidation of methyl arenes and their analogues. The VO@g-C3N4 catalyst is very efficient in the C-H activation and oxygen insertion reaction resulting in formation of the corresponding carbonyl compounds and phenols.
