This is obviously subjective, but should illustrate the principles and components of green chemistry even if … Continue reading →

Typed into Arcturus As I have blogged already (http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust/?p=2526) we are planning an exciting communal event for Science Online where we investigate whether chemical reactions are getting greener. I’ve already had two offers of help today and I’ll post details … Continue reading →
