Unveiling the potential of a covalent triazine framework based on [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (DPhBTBT-CTF) as a metal-free heterogeneous photocatalyst

A novel covalent triazine framework (DPhBTBT-CTF) prepared by microwave cyclotrimerization of BTBT units was proved as very versatile photocatalyst for different reactions: oxidations, bromination, Diels–Alder cycloaddition and hydroxylations.
