Since the definition of the “12 Principles of Green Chemistry” more than 20 years ago,
chemists have become increasingly mindful of the need to conserve natural resources and …

The introduction of the E Factor in 1992 focussed attention on the problem of waste
generation, defined as everything but the desired product, in chemicals manufacture and …

Solubility plays a critical role in many aspects of research (drugs to materials). Solubility
parameters are very useful for selecting appropriate solvents/non-solvents for various …

The complexity of chemical compounds in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) results in great
difficulties in the extraction of multiple transition metals, which have similar physicochemical …

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) is increasing
continuously, however, commercialization is far from being achieved due to the very high …

Sustainable methods of synthesizing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are of paramount
importance to energy conservation efforts and environmental remediation. It can be a …

The increasing discharge of metal-associated waste not only causes growing concerns on

Dipolar aprotic and ethereal solvents comprise just over 40% of all organic solvents utilized
in synthetic organic, medicinal, and process chemistry. Unfortunately, many of the common …

Furan energy platform compounds including furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), can
be produced by hydrothermal conversion of biomass. After hydrodeoxygenation, these …

The present review is devoted to summarizing the recent advances (2015–2017) in the field
of metal-catalysed group-directed C–H functionalisation. In order to clearly showcase the …
