Abstract

The oxidation of amines to imines is an important chemical transformation. In this article, we report original data on the synthesis of carbon doped WO_3-x ultrathin nanosheets via an acid-assisted one-pot process, which exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity in the aerobic oxidation of amines to corresponding imines under visible light irradiation at room temperature. The composition, microstructure, morphology, photocatalytic activity of the corresponding samples and possible mechanism are included here. The data are related to "Oxide Defect Engineering Enables to Couple Solar Energy into Oxygen Activation" (Zhang et al., 2016).

Keywords: Aerobic oxidation; Photocatalytic activity; Ultrathin nano-sheet.
