Nanoparticle (NP) catalysis in liquid phase, which is usually called “soluble” NP catalysis, is
an old topic but is now well advanced due to the great progress in nano-chemistry and nano …

Solvent usage has been linked to waste generation and associated environmental and
economic burdens. Table 1 compares the amount of waste generated relative to products …

Metal complexes of salen ligands are an important class of compounds, and they have been
widely studied in the past. Among their successful catalytic applications, the synthesis of …

Everyone is becoming more environmentally conscious and therefore, chemical processes
are being developed with their environmental burden in mind. This also means that more …

The mesoporous metal–organic frameworks are a family of materials that have pore sizes
ranging from 2 to 50 nm, which have shown promising applications in catalysis, adsorption …

The most important application of polymers in synthetic chemistry is the use of cross-linked
polymers in solid phase synthesis and in various sorts of “purifications”. This is emphasized …

Water is the sustainable solvent of excellence, but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-
polar compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen bonding …

Solvents play a critical role in “greening” synthetic chemistry, and this is also true in catalytic
organic synthesis. This review attempts to summarize the progress made in the past a few …

A critical look at reactions in class I and II gas-expanded liquids using CO2 and other gases -

Considerable effort has been done to overcome the loss of catalyst in homogeneously
catalysed processes. In this contribution we describe five recycling concepts for …
