Abstract

A Prussian blue/carbon dot (PB/CD) nanocomposite was synthesised and used as a visible-light active photocatalyst for the oxidative cyanation of tertiary amines to α-aminonitriles by using NaCN/acetic acid as a cyanide source and H2O2 as an oxidant. The developed photocatalyst afforded high yields of products after 8 h of visible light irradiation at room temperature. The catalyst was recycled and reused several times without any significant loss in its activity.
