Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has gained significant attention for its catalytic properties,especiallyin the development of Single Atom Catalysts (SACs).However,the surface chemistry underlying the formation of these isolated metal sites remains poorly understood.In thisstudyweemploy Surface OrganoMetallic Chemistry (SOMC) together with advanced microscopic and spectroscopic techniquesfor an in-depth analysis of functionalizedg-C3N4materials, where tailored organosilver probe molecules are used to monitor surface processes and characterize resulting surface species. Amulti-technique approach-including high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF-STEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and multinuclear solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR),coupled with density functional theory (DFT) calculations- identifies three primary surface speciesin Ag-functionalized g-C3N4:bis-NHC-Ag+, dispersed Ag+sites, andphysisorbed molecular precursor.These findings highlight a dynamic grafting process and provide insights into the surface coordination chemistryof functionalizedg-C3N4materials.
