Green chemistry for chemical synthesis addresses our future challenges in working with chemical processes and products by inventing novel reactions that can maximize the desired products and minimize by-products, designing new synthetic schemes and apparati that can simplify operations in chemical productions, and seeking greener solvents that are inherently environmentally and ecologically ben...

Ionic liquids, considered "green" chemicals, are widely used in many areas of analytical chemistry due to their unique properties. Recently, ionic liquids have been used as a kind of novel additive in separation and combined with silica to synthesize new stationary phase as separation media. This review will focus on the properties and mechanisms of ionic liquids and their potential application...

Solid acids and especially those based on micelle-templated silicas and other mesoporous high surface area support materials are beginning to play a significant role in the greening of fine and specialty chemicals manufacturing processes. A wide range of important organic reactions can be efficiently catalyzed by these materials, which can be designed to provide different types of acidity as we...

We present nearly local definitions of correlation energy density, and its potential and kinetic components, and evaluate them for several two-electron systems. This information should provide valuable guidance in constructing better correlation functionals than those in common use. In addition, we demonstrate that the quantum chemistry and the density-functional definitions of the correlation ...

It is a pleasure to introduce the 3rd in the series of Thematic Issues on organo-fluorine chemistry for the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry (BJOC). These series have become progressively more successful over time in terms of the number and quality of the contributions received. It is also pleasing to note that the profile and impact factor of the journal has increased steadily over this ...
