The principles of green chemistry (GC) can be comprehensively implemented in green
synthesis of pharmaceuticals by choosing no solvents or green solvents (preferably water) …

Over the past decade, the use of photocatalysts (PCs) in controlled polymerization has
brought new opportunities in sophisticated macromolecular synthesis. However, the …

During the chlor-alkali process, in operation since the nineteenth century, electrolysis of
sodium chloride solutions generates chlorine and sodium hydroxide that are both important …

The association of an electron-rich substrate with an electron-accepting molecule can
generate a new molecular aggregate in the ground state, called an electron donor–acceptor …

Chirality is a fundamental property which plays a major role in chemistry, physics, biological
systems and materials science. Chiroptical artificial molecular motors (AMMs) are a class of …

Sensibility to environmental concerns and the actual demand for polymeric materials free of
any metal contaminants in most applications have directed research towards significant …

Biocatalysis, using defined enzymes for organic transformations, has become a common
tool in organic synthesis, which is also frequently applied in industry. The generally high …

Since the discovery of Hofmann–Löffler–Freytag reaction more than 130 years ago, both the
structure and reactivity of nitrogen-centred radicals have been widely studied. Nevertheless …

The use of electricity instead of stoichiometric amounts of oxidizers or reducing agents in
synthesis is very appealing for economic and ecological reasons, and represents a major …
