Principles of Green Chemistry
Atom economy, E-factor, hazard reduction, and the twelve principles.
Principles of Green Chemistry — Atom economy, E-factor, hazard reduction, and the twelve principles.
The field organises around several methodological axes: how the underlying objects are modelled, how they are measured, how they are connected to the rest of chemistry, and which empirical phenomena drive open questions. The references below anchor the topic in established treatments and current literature.
Foundations and core methods
Current developments
More recent or specialised work appears in Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice (Anastas and Warner, 2000), which we cite here as a general entry point to that direction; specific quantitative claims about its contribution are not made.
Open questions
Open methodological questions in principles of green chemistry include the transferability of the standard methods to harder regimes, the integration of newer measurement and modelling tools, and the connection to neighbouring subfields of green and environmental chemistry. Future revisions of this page will deepen the treatment as more primary literature is curated.
