Journal ArticleDOI

Green chemistry and the health implications of nanoparticles

TL;DR: N nanoparticles can enter the human body through the lungs, the intestinal tract, and to a lesser extent the skin, and are likely to be a health issue, although the extent of effects on health are inconclusive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification of C60 and C70 by selective complexation with calixarenes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that both C60 and C70 will form discrete complexes with calixarenes, bowl-shaped macrocycles with hydrophobic cavities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in solventless organic reactions: towards benign synthesis with remarkable versatility

TL;DR: A paradigm shift away from using solvents in organic synthesis as solventless reactions can lead to improved outcomes, and more benign synthetic procedures, in for example aldol condensation reactions and oligomerisation reactions for the synthesis of cavitands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding Solid/Solid Organic Reactions

TL;DR: The concept of an organic reaction between two macroscopic solid particles is investigated and it is clearly shown that, in most cases, grinding the two solid reactants together results in the formation of a liquid phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-step continuous-flow synthesis.

TL;DR: Progresses in multi-step continuous-flow systems have improved the syntheses of active pharmaceutical ingredients, natural products, and commodity chemicals while highlighting the rapid progress, benefits, and diversification of this expanding field.
