Abstract
-benzylidenebenzylamine, was selectively obtained with a high conversion yield of ∼96% under solvent-free conditions compared to other control experiments. The Bi-ellagate photocatalyst was recovered and reused four times without any significant loss in its activity, which provides an eco-friendly, low-cost, recyclable, and efficient photocatalyst for potential photocatalytic applications.
