Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a new metal-free photocatalyst. Due to its 2.7 eV band gap which makes it being absorbed in the visible region, as well as unique structure which gives it good photocatalytic activity, g-C3N4 has attracted more and more attentions in visible photocatalysis field. The application of photocatalysis with g-C3N4 in organic reactions, such as oxidation reaction, reduction reaction, carbon-carbon bond formation, cyclization reaction and other organic reactions, is summarized and its future outlook is also discussed.
