The activation of Type III heterojunctions through inserting plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NP) between the semiconductor components as a bridge for the selective capture and interband transfer of the photothermal-induced charges and constructing a robust Type B heterojunction photothermocatalyst shows the potential to overcome the trade-off between light response range and redox potentials of the mainstream Type II, Z-scheme, and S-scheme heterojunctions. A series of Type B heterojunctions CuWO4/Ag/GdCrO3, WO3/Ag/GdCrO3, and Bi2WO6–x F2x /Ag/GdCrO3 are constructed through introducing a plasmonic Ag NP bridge, and the relation between the required plasmonic intensity of the bridge and energy barrier of the parent heterojunctions is correlated. The as-developed Type B heterojunction WO3/Ag/GdCrO3 exhibits a 73 times higher photothermocatalytic toluene degradation rate and a 44 times higher photothermocatalytic CO yielding rate from CO2 reduction than those of parent Type III WO3/GdCrO3, and ranges among the best of state-of-the-art photocatalytic or photothermocatalytic performance in both VOC oxidation and CO2 reduction.

A simple and efficient copper(II)‐catalyzed C5 azidation of N‐acylated 8‐aminoquinolines by remote C−H activation was developed. On the basis of this reaction, a series of new C5‐azidated 8‐amidequinolines were synthesized in moderate to good yields.

We report herein the first example of Cu(II)-catalyzed site selective azidation of aromatic amines via C-H functionalization in aqueous media. In our strategy, a mild reagent was utilized. HO served as the oxidant, and sodium azide was used as the azidation reagent. This method could also be applied to late-stage functionalization of drugs that possess an aromatic amine moiety. In addition, we found that bromination or iodination on the ortho-position of aromatic amines could occur efficiently using this catalytic system.
