and selective, is widely applicable to various sulfide substrates,
and is capable of facile recycling. According to the ESR investi-
gation and some logic experiments, a possible mechanism of this
catalytic system was provided. The attractive non-metal system is
expected to illustrate well activity in the oxidation of alcohols,
hydrocarbons, and other organic compounds, not limited for
the sulfides. We believe that many more organocatalysts and
light-sensitive materials can be combined in many ways,
thereby opening up several new possibilities for its further use in
developing non-metal, light-harvesting, and heterogeneous cata-
lytic methodologies in organic synthesis and the chemical
industry.
