The twelve principles of CO2 Chemistry (2015)
Journal Article

This paper introduces a set of 12 Principles, based on the acronym CO2 CHEMISTRY, which are intended to form a set of criteria for assessing the viability of different processes or reactions for using CO2 as a feedstock for making organic chemicals....

A synthetic-dynamic method for water solubility measurements in high pressure CO2 using ATR–FTIR spectroscopy (2015)
Journal Article

A new synthetic method for studying phase behaviour is described using Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. The method has been developed to provide relevant information on the solubility of water in CO2. The dew point of water has been de...

Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin (2015)
Journal Article

Artemisinin is an important antimalarial drug but, currently, the environmental and economic costs of its semi-synthetic production are relatively high. Most of these costs originate in the final chemical steps which follow a complex acid- and photo-... Read More about Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin.
