A chemical protocol based on molecular engineering of polymeric matrix is developed for the chemical optimization of ordered mesoporous carbon nitride (OMCN) in this study to address the concerns on the serious nanostructure-induced semiconductive defects, in particular the remarkable hypsochromic shift of absorption threshold and the increased excition dissociation energy. Physical characterizations demonstrate that the successful incorporation of 3-aminothiophene-2-carbonitrile (ATCN) aromatic donor in OMCN matrix can efficiently extend the pi-conjugated system, red-shift the optical absorption toward longer wavelengths and promote exciton splitting, thus well overcoming the serious semiconductive defects. In addition, the unique structural benefits of OMCN, such as the well-orientated nanoarchitectures with large specific surface area and uniform nanosized pore, have been well remained in ATCN-modified sample (OMCNA) via adjusting the ATCN/cyanamide molar ratio to minimize the unavoidable matrix disturbance. Hence, an obviously enhanced photocatalytic activity toward H-2 evolution and selective oxidation of alcohols are obtained on optimized OMCNA samples, greatly underlining the advantage of molecular engineering in supporting nanostructured photocatalysts.
