However, the high-spin FeIII in traditional Fe2O3 restricts its catalytic performance. In this work, based on the nanocrystal size alteration strategy, cubic Fe2O3 nanoclusters (3–4 nm) with low-spin FeIII were successfully anchored on six-fold cavities of the supramolecular condensed g-C3N4 rod (FCN) through the impregnation-coprecipitation method. FCN showed high photocatalytic activity, as the d band center of Fe 3d orbital (−1.79 eV) in low-spin FeIII shifted closer to Femi level, generating a weaker antibonding state. Then, the enhanced bonding state strengthened the interaction between Fe and O, further accelerating the charge carrier separation and enhancing its ability to capture OH−. Thus, low-spin FeIII enhanced the production of dominant reactive oxygen species (•OH/•O2−), promoting diclofenac photocatalytic degradation under solar light, with a kinetic rate constant (0.206 min−1) of  5 times compared with that of pristine g-C3N4.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
