Metal-free visible-light photocatalysts offer a clean, sustainable solution to many pressing environmental issues. Herein, we present a molecular design strategy to fine-tune the valence and conduction band levels of a series of conjugated microporous polymer networks based on poly(benzochalcogenadiazole) for heterogeneous photocatalysis. Enhanced photocatalytic efficiency was observed by altering the chalcogene moieties in the electron-accepting benzochalcogenadiazole unit of the polymer backbone structure. Photooxidative coupling of benzylamines was chosen as a model reaction. This design strategy leading to enhanced efficiency could potentially improve a wide range of photoredox reactions.
