Photooxidation of Fulvenes in a Continuous Flow Photoreactor using Carbon Dioxide as a Solvent (2018)
Journal Article
Wu, L., Lee, D. S., Boufroura, H., Poliakoff, M., & George, M. W. (2018). Photooxidation of Fulvenes in a Continuous Flow Photoreactor using Carbon Dioxide as a Solvent. Chemphotochem, 2(7), 580-585. https://doi.org/10.1002/cptc.201800033

A range of 3?substituted oxepinones have been synthesised by the photooxidation of fulvenes with photochemically generated singlet oxygen (1O2) using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a solvent and a CO2?soluble porphyrin photosensitizer. The reactive intermed... Read More about Photooxidation of Fulvenes in a Continuous Flow Photoreactor using Carbon Dioxide as a Solvent.

UN sustainable development goals: How can sustainable/green chemistry contribute? By doing things differently (2018)
Journal Article
Poliakoff, M., Licence, P., & George, M. W. (2018). UN sustainable development goals: How can sustainable/green chemistry contribute? By doing things differently. Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, 13, 146-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogsc.2018.04.011

Until now, much Green and Sustainable Chemistry has been focused on how chemicals are made. Here we suggest that, if chemistry is to contribute effectively to achieving the SDGs, we need to change the way that things are done at both ends of the chem...
